Prey (2017)
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Immersive sim aboard Talos I where build and route choices dominate.

Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 4
Prey (2017) leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Dragon Age II
Faster action combat, modest input demand
Prey (2017)
Wrench and Gloo timing modest.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dragon Age II
Wave-based scripted enemies
Prey (2017)
Typhon AI scripted, not adaptive.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dragon Age II
Low randomness in encounters
Prey (2017)
Mimics and resource spawns randomized.
Optimization7 vs 8
Prey (2017) leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Dragon Age II
Class builds and friend/rival paths reward planning
Prey (2017)
Neuromods, builds, station routing deeply solvable.
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.
