Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Dino Stalker leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Dino Stalker
Light-gun aim and fast reactions decide survival
Half-Life: Alyx
VR aim, reload, and grab inputs intense.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Dinosaurs charge on fixed scripts, nothing to predict
Half-Life: Alyx
Combine and headcrabs scripted.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Spawn timing adds modest unpredictability
Half-Life: Alyx
Resource and encounter variance light.
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Ammo and weapon management are light secondary concerns
Half-Life: Alyx
Few systems to tune.
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.
