DOOM (2016)vsPure Pool
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
DOOM (2016)
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Push-forward arena FPS where movement and aim are the whole game.
Pure Pool
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Polished pool simulation testing cue precision and multi-shot positional planning.
DOOM (2016) leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Pure Pool leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
DOOM (2016)Pure Pool
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 (2016)
Aim, movement, glory-kill timing all peak.
Pure Pool
Stroke precision and cue control decide every frame
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
Pure Pool
Online opponents allow minor safety mindgames only
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.
Pure Pool
Open table, deterministic physics, nothing hidden
Optimization5 vs 6
Pure Pool leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
Pure Pool
Pattern play and positional theory are deeply 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.
