American McGee's Alice
Floaty platforming and weapon timing need moderate precision
Spyro the Dragon
Gliding and charging need modest precision at most
Reads0 vs 0

American McGee's Alice
Wonderland enemies follow fixed scripts
Spyro the Dragon
Gnorcs repeat one behaviour forever
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
American McGee's Alice
Levels are fixed once explored
Spyro the Dragon
Gem locations are fixed once levels are explored
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
American McGee's Alice
Weapon selection per enemy and learned jump routes
Spyro the Dragon
Collection routing and glide lines reward light planning
