Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 6
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package leans clearly harder on execution.
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package
Weaving through dense bullet patterns is the core test
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Reads0 vs 1
Half-Life 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package
Bosses fire scripted patterns, no adaptation
Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Variance2 vs 1
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package
Patterns are fixed; randomness is minimal
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Optimization5 vs 3
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package leans clearly harder on optimization.
eXceed 3rd: Jade Penetrate Black Package
Memorizing patterns and scoring routes deepens play
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.
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.
