Spirits attack on fixed scripts
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Orc hordes are scripted spawns, no adaptation

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Light enemy spawn variation
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Loot drops roll randomly across runs
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
