Phoenix Point
Variance · Systems & Chaos
Managing a manual-aim shooting layer on top of XCOM-style strategic campaign optimization.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 leans Variance (Systems & Chaos); Phoenix Point leans Variance (Systems & Chaos).

Five Nights at Freddy's 2
More stalkers, more hidden movement rolls
Phoenix Point
Body-part hit location and mutation pools drive heavy RNG swings

Optimal check rotations make late nights solvable
Phoenix Point
Research priority, vehicle builds, and faction balance are deeply 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.
