head to head
DOOM (2016)vsSWIV
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
DOOM (2016)
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Push-forward arena FPS where movement and aim are the whole game.
SWIV
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A vertical scroller testing bullet-dodging execution over memorised enemy wave patterns.
DOOM (2016) leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); SWIV leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
DOOM (2016)SWIV
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.
SWIV
Weaving through dense bullet patterns is the whole vertical-shooter test
Reads1 vs 0
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
SWIV
Enemy waves are scripted spawns, never adaptive
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.
SWIV
Almost fully deterministic once patterns are memorised
Optimization5 vs 4
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
SWIV
Learning spawn layouts and power-up routes raises the ceiling
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.
