DOOM (2016)vsSSX
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
DOOM (2016)
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Push-forward arena FPS where movement and aim are the whole game.
SSX
Execution · Pure Mechanics
High-speed trick execution along optimised lines down fixed mountains.
DOOM (2016) leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); SSX leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
DOOM (2016)SSX
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.
SSX
Trick timing, landings and line control at speed are everything
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.
SSX
Rival AI racers are aggressive but mappable
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.
SSX
Courses are fixed once learned
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 (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
SSX
Optimal trick lines and shortcut routing maximise score
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.
