Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 8
Sega Rally Championship leans clearly harder on execution.
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Sega Rally Championship
Surface-aware drift control is the entire skill ceiling.
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.
Sega Rally Championship
Time-attack against scripted AI; no adaptation.
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.
Sega Rally Championship
Fixed tracks; nothing hidden after first lap.
Optimization3 vs 4
Sega Rally Championship leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.
Sega Rally Championship
Learning racing lines per surface converges quickly.
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.
