Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Touchgrind Skate 2
no opponent to out-predict
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.
Touchgrind Skate 2
minimal randomness in runs
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Half-Life 2
Linear progression with no builds.

trick-combo route 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.
