Golden Axe II
magic potion and enemy spawn randomness

Optimal lane patterns are quickly learnable
Golden Axe II
character and beast-mount choice optimization
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.
