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.
The Legend of Dragoon
Standard encounter unknowns
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberware, perks, and damage stacking are deep solvable systems.
The Legend of Dragoon
Dragoon management, additions, and item strategy
