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
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Maze layouts unknown only on first visit

BioShock Remastered
plasmid and build synergies are solvable
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Level navigation and key-hunting are the real test
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.
