Building comparison
head to head
Cyberpunk 2077vsFallout: New Vegas
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Cyberpunk 2077
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An open-world action RPG where cyberware build planning dominates raw shooting.
Fallout: New Vegas
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A faction-driven RPG-shooter where build and route planning shape every ending.
Cyberpunk 2077 leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Fallout: New Vegas leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Cyberpunk 2077Fallout: New Vegas
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Cyberpunk 2077 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Cyberpunk 2077
Gunplay and movement reward aim but builds carry hard.
Fallout: New Vegas
Shooter inputs with VATS assist
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cyberpunk 2077
Enemy AI follows scripted behaviours; not adaptive to you.
Fallout: New Vegas
Scripted factions and enemies
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cyberpunk 2077
Loot tiers and crafting rolls add light randomness.
Fallout: New Vegas
Some loot and crit RNG
Optimization7 vs 8
Fallout: New Vegas leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberware, perks, and damage stacking are deep solvable systems.
Fallout: New Vegas
Faction routing, perks, builds heavily rewarded
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.
