Grand Theft Auto VPac-Man 99
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 7
Pac-Man 99 leans clearly harder on execution.
Grand Theft Auto V
Driving and shooting demand decent inputs.
Pac-Man 99
Maze steering at speed under jammer pressure decides survival
Reads2 vs 2
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Grand Theft Auto V
Online PvP exists but mostly gear/positioning, not modeling.
Pac-Man 99
98 opponents are anonymous noise, not readable minds
Variance2 vs 4
Pac-Man 99 leans clearly harder on variance.
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.
Pac-Man 99
Incoming attacks and ghost spawns randomize each match
Optimization4 vs 6
Pac-Man 99 leans clearly harder on optimization.
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
Pac-Man 99
Ghost-train routing and target strategies have known best lines
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.
