Enemy factions follow scripted patrol and attack patterns
L.A. Noire

Planet and POI loot tables carry significant hidden randomness
L.A. Noire
Interrogation tells and clues hidden until discovered

Empyrion: Galactic Survival leans clearly harder on optimization.
Empyrion: Galactic Survival
Ship blueprint design, resource routing, and faction progression are solvable
L.A. Noire
Evidence chains and question choices have fixed correct answers
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.
