Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Blasphemous 2
Fixed world with hidden secrets
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
Fixed tower; knowledge carries between runs
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Blasphemous 2
Weapon choice, altarpiece builds, and routing
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
