Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An immersive-sim shooter where combining plasmids and weapons into optimal builds is the deep layer.
Red Dead Redemption
Execution · Practiced Mastery

BioShock Remastered
aim and plasmid timing matter
Red Dead Redemption
Dead Eye softens but gunplay still wants aim

Red Dead Redemption
Multiplayer skirmishes add light human prediction
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
BioShock Remastered
loot and enemy spawns vary
Red Dead Redemption

plasmid and build synergies are solvable
Red Dead Redemption
Mission approaches and economy are learnable
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.
