DOOM (2016)
Aim, movement, glory-kill timing all peak.

Choplifter!
Tanks and jets attack on fixed logic
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Choplifter!
Threats are predictable after a few runs
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.
Optimization4 vs 5
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Choplifter!
Routing rescue trips efficiently maximises the 64 hostages
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
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.
