Tank-control dodging of fast raptors punishes slow hands
Silent Hill
Combat is deliberately clumsy and forgiving
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Crisis
Dinosaur AI is aggressive but fixed, never models you
Silent Hill
Monsters follow fixed behaviors
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Crisis
Ambush placements and item locations are unknown first time
Silent Hill
First-run fog hides layout and puzzle information
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Crisis
Ammo economy, plug puzzles, and routing dominate survival
Silent Hill
Routes, puzzles, and endings fully converge on replay
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.
