BioShock 2
Dual-wield drill and gun timing matter.
Far Cry Primal
Bow aim, melee timing, beast control under pressure

Splicer AI scripted, not adaptive.
Far Cry Primal
Scripted tribal AI never models the player
Variance2 vs 3
Far Cry Primal leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
BioShock 2
Sister-gathering waves add randomness.
Far Cry Primal
Wildlife encounters and patrol spawns are random

Plasmid combos and gear loadouts solvable.
Far Cry Primal
Outpost routes, crafting economy, beast taming order
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.
