Axis by axis

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Borderlands
Standard FPS aim; numbers matter more than precision
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
Physical VR stabs, aim and reloads under pressure are real skill
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Borderlands
Bandits and skags are scripted
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
Walkers and human NPCs follow scripted behaviour
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Borderlands
Procedural loot drops gate your power
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
Scavenging finds and encounter layouts vary per run
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Borderlands
Builds, gear math, and farming routes dominate
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
Crafting economy, stamina and route planning drive survival
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.
