FuriHalf-Life 2
Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 6
Furi leans clearly harder on execution.
Furi
Parry timing, bullet dodging, and duel precision
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Furi
Bosses are scripted patterns, however adversarial they feel
Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Furi
Fixed boss sequences
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Optimization5 vs 3
Furi leans clearly harder on optimization.
Furi
Learning each boss's phases converges to mastery
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.
