DayZDead by Daylight
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 5
DayZ leans harder on execution: gunfights punish slow hands severely
Reads6 vs 7
Dead by Daylight leans harder on reads: killer-survivor mind games never stop adapting
Variance7 vs 4
DayZ leans harder on variance: loot spawns and who you meet are unknowable
Optimization5 vs 5
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
