Hand Simulator: Survival leans clearly harder on variance.
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Hand Simulator: Survival
Physics chaos and spawns create unpredictable situations
Optimization3 vs 4

Crafting and survival systems reward some planning
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.
