BioShock Remastered
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An immersive-sim shooter where combining plasmids and weapons into optimal builds is the deep layer.

Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5

Bastion
Action combat needs timing and aim.
BioShock Remastered
aim and plasmid timing matter
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Bastion
Enemies are scripted.
BioShock Remastered
splicers are scripted, no adaptation
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Minor loot variance.
BioShock Remastered
loot and enemy spawns vary
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Bastion
Weapon and idol builds reward planning.
BioShock Remastered
plasmid and build synergies are solvable
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.
