Deadly PremonitionvsRaft
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Deadly Premonition
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A famously janky open-world horror mystery where FBI agent Francis York Morgan investigates a small-town murder.
Raft
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Growing a floating base by solving resource chains and research order against scripted ocean threats.
Deadly Premonition leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Raft leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Deadly PremonitionRaft
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadly Premonition
Clunky combat is forgiving and rarely the obstacle
Raft
Shark hook-attacks require minimal timing
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadly Premonition
Shadows and the Raincoat Killer follow fixed scripts
Raft
Shark and seagull AI are scripted with no player modelling
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadly Premonition
Town schedules and side content are unknown until discovered
Raft
Island loot tables and resource drift introduce randomness
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadly Premonition
Time management, schedules, and routing dominate completion
Raft
Raft expansion, food chains, and research order are solvable systems
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.
