Astro's Playroom
Scripted enemies

Astro's Playroom

Astro's Playroom
Collectible completion
The Walking Dead
Choices barely gate progress; nothing meaningful to solve
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
