Ghoul Patrol
Aiming and dodging enemies under ammo pressure
The Last of Us
Aim, stealth timing, and scarce-ammo combat
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Enemies follow scripted patterns, no adaptation
The Last of Us
Enemy AI searches but follows mappable routines
Variance3 vs 2
Ghoul Patrol leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Ghoul Patrol
Some spawn and item randomness
The Last of Us
Encounter layouts unknown first time only
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ghoul Patrol
Managing limited ammo and rescue routing matters
The Last of Us
Resource crafting and encounter routing
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.
