Human opponents reward movement prediction
New World: Aeternum
Open-world PvP wars and outpost rush involve adaptive opponents
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Spawn logic and lobby variance add noise
New World: Aeternum
Gear drops add variance but crafting reduces reliance on RNG
Optimization5 vs 6
New World: Aeternum leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Rig choice and movement routes are solvable
New World: Aeternum
Weapon mastery and territory control strategies are systematically solvable
