Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadpool
Combo juggling and dodge timing carry the combat
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Reads0 vs 1
Half-Life 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.

Enemy waves attack from fixed scripts
Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadpool
Encounters are deterministic once seen
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deadpool
Upgrade picks and combo routes are shallow but present
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.
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.
