head to head
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A physics hide-and-seek testing systematic search efficiency room by room.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Open-zone Metro entry trading tunnels for a cross-Russia survival journey.
Elebits leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Metro Exodus leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Metro Exodus leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Elebits
Pointer aiming and physics manipulation stay gentle
Metro Exodus
open-zone gunplay and stealth takedowns
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Elebits
Elebits scatter on simple scripts, not adaptation
Metro Exodus
human and mutant AI is mappable
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Elebits
Hiding spots are unknown until rooms are torn apart
Metro Exodus
weather and patrols add mild uncertainty
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Elebits
Efficient search order and power growth drive high scores
Metro Exodus
crafting, scavenging, and approach planning
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.
