Axis by axis

Spirit behaviour is scripted, never modelling the player.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Dice checks and hidden thresholds gate outcomes
Spirit Hunter: NG
Hidden death triggers and unknown spirit lore dominate first runs.
Optimization5 vs 5

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Skill builds and check preparation are the solvable layer
Spirit Hunter: NG
Correct evidence and choices are fixed and fully learnable.
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.
