Mobs pour from generators on fixed logic

BioShock 2
Sister-gathering waves add randomness.
Gauntlet Legends
Item and food spots are scripted-but-unknown initially

BioShock 2
Plasmid combos and gear loadouts solvable.
Gauntlet Legends
Generator-killing priority and character leveling reward planning
