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

Execution · Pure Mechanics
A fast arena shooter where raw aim and movement meet item-control strategy.
DOOM (2016) leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Unreal Tournament 2004 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Unreal Tournament 2004 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Aim, movement, glory-kill timing all peak.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Aimbot plus perfect dodging trivializes arena duels
Unreal Tournament 2004 leans clearly harder on reads.
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Predicting human movement and timing in duels matters
Unreal Tournament 2004 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Spawns and item timers are knowable, little hidden
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.
Unreal Tournament 2004
Item timing, map control, and weapon economy are studied
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.
