Loaded

Grand Theft Auto V
Online PvP exists but mostly gear/positioning, not modeling.
Loaded
Enemies swarm on fixed spawns, never adapting
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.
Loaded
Level layouts hide little after a first run
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
Loaded
Character choice and route learning ease each mission
