SnowRunner
No opponents; terrain is the only adversary.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Traffic, weather, cargo conditions
SnowRunner
Mud and ice physics surprise until terrain is learned.
Optimization7 vs 7
