Super Mario Odyssey
Execution · Pure Mechanics

Doom (1993) leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario Odyssey leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Doom (1993)Super Mario Odyssey
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Doom (1993)
Precise movement and shooting against relentless enemy pressure
Super Mario Odyssey
Precise platforming and capture-move tech ceiling.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Doom (1993)
Enemies follow scripted patrol and attack patterns, not adaptive
Super Mario Odyssey
No adaptive opponents whatsoever.
Variance3 vs 1
Doom (1993) leans clearly harder on variance.
Doom (1993)
Enemy placement is fixed but unknown on first run through levels
Super Mario Odyssey
Almost no randomness in level design.
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Doom (1993)
Level routing and resource management determine survival efficiency
Super Mario Odyssey
Moon routes and movement tech 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.
