DishonoredRed Dead Redemption 2
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Blink timing and combat inputs matter.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Guard AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored
Patrol timings vary mildly.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
Optimization7 vs 4

Dishonored
Power combos and stealth routes solvable.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
