Execution · Pure Mechanics
Push-forward arena FPS where movement and aim are the whole game.

A shmup collection testing reflexes and dodging against memorizable bullet patterns.
DOOM (2016) leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Shooting Love, 200X leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Shooting Love, 200X leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Aim, movement, glory-kill timing all peak.
Shooting Love, 200X
Dodging dense bullet patterns at speed is the whole test
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.
Shooting Love, 200X
Enemy waves are fixed patterns, not adaptive
Shooting Love, 200X leans clearly harder on variance.
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.
Shooting Love, 200X
Some spawn variation but largely memorizable
Shooting Love, 200X leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
Shooting Love, 200X
Scoring systems and routing reward optimal play
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.
