Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
No twitch elements; pair-up placement is the only spatial decision under time
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters
Turn-based; Willpower and cover angle require spatial not twitch skill

Enemies follow simple aggro patterns on fixed maps
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters
Chaos AI follows scripted threat escalation patterns
Variance5 vs 6
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Hit and crit rates plus random level-up stats create run variance
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters
Nemesis Force activations, random Bloom spread, and loot drops create variance
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Marriage pairings and Second Seal reclass chains are the optimization spine
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters
Grey Knight wargear, psychic powers, and campaign priority are tightly optimizable
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.
