Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 8
Rush'n Attack leans clearly harder on execution.
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Rush'n Attack
Knife-range timing against dense spawns is the entire challenge
Reads1 vs 0
Half-Life 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Rush'n Attack
Soldiers spawn in fixed patterns
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Rush'n Attack
Arcade waves are deterministic once learnt
Optimization3 vs 4
Rush'n Attack leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.
Rush'n Attack
Memorising spawn patterns and weapon pickups solves runs
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.
