Half-Life 2Tetris Party
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 9
Tetris Party leans clearly harder on execution.
Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Tetris Party
Precise fast piece placement decides every game
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Tetris Party
Versus mode adds slight attack-timing prediction
Variance1 vs 2
Tetris Party leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Half-Life 2
Almost no randomness.
Tetris Party
Piece bag is random but bounded and mappable
Optimization3 vs 5
Tetris Party leans clearly harder on optimization.
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.
Tetris Party
Stacking strategy has known optimal patterns
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.
