Desperados IIIMonster Hunter: World
Axis by axis

Monster Hunter: World
Deliberate weapon timing against huge movesets
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Desperados III
Enemy patrols are fully scripted; no adaptive opposition
Monster Hunter: World
Monsters are learnable scripts, never adaptive
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Desperados III
Guard patrol overlap creates some hidden-state uncertainty early on
Monster Hunter: World
Decoration drops are notorious RNG
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Desperados III
Finding the ideal simultaneous action sequence per map is the core puzzle
Monster Hunter: World
Knowing the monster and building counters is the game
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.
