Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dash of Destruction
Simple steering is the only demand, deliberately easy
Heavy Rain
QTE prompts under tension

Heavy Rain
No adaptive opposition
Variance1 vs 2
Heavy Rain leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Dash of Destruction
City layouts are fixed and tiny
Heavy Rain
First-run uncertainty about consequences

Routes are learned in minutes by design
Heavy Rain
Branch knowledge fully solves outcomes
