head to head
Black WidowvsFlatOut 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Black Widow
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A twin-stick arcade shooter testing aim and web defense reflexes.
FlatOut 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
The bigger, faster sequel doubling down on chaotic crash physics and stunt minigames.
Black Widow leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); FlatOut 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Black Widow leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Black Widow
Twin-stick aiming and movement on the web is the core test
FlatOut 2
High-speed control amid wrecks and ragdolls
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Black Widow
Bugs follow scripted spawn patterns, not adapting
FlatOut 2
No adaptive opposition worth modeling
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Black Widow
Bug entry points add mild unpredictability
FlatOut 2
Crash physics and track debris vary every race
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Black Widow
Prioritizing targets and bonus timing raises scores
FlatOut 2
Track knowledge and car tuning settle into routine
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.
