Borderlands
Bandits and skags are scripted
Dino Crisis
Dinosaur AI is aggressive but fixed, never models you
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Builds, gear math, and farming routes dominate
Dino Crisis

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.
