head to head
Kerbal Space Program asks more than Euro Truck Simulator 2, and the gap is optimization.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Relaxing trucking sim with company-building progression.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Rocket engineering sandbox about orbital mechanics.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Kerbal Space Program leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Kerbal Space Program leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Truck handling, parking, gear control
Kerbal Space Program
Manual piloting, docking precision
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
No adaptive opponents
Kerbal Space Program
No adaptive opponents
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Traffic, weather, cargo conditions
Kerbal Space Program
Light reentry and physics variance
Kerbal Space Program leans clearly harder on optimization.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Company growth, route, fleet management
Kerbal Space Program
Rocket design, delta-v budget, mission 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.
