Multi-commando coordination under timing windows
Valheim
Block-and-parry timing matters in boss fights.

Commandos 2: Men of Courage
Vision cones shown; layouts fixed
Valheim
World seed and biome layout introduce mild randomness.
Optimization9 vs 8
Commandos 2: Men of Courage leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Commandos 2: Men of Courage
Open-ended missions still reduce to solved routes
Valheim
Gear progression and base infrastructure define progress.
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.
