Deep Rock Galactic
Cave layouts, bug types, and secondary objectives randomise each mission
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Item distribution heavily randomized by position.
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deep Rock Galactic
Class builds, resource routing, and objective sequencing reward mastery
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Kart build, line, and shortcut knowledge define top times.
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.
