Half-Life 2
Gravity gun and shooting demand precision.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Half-Life 2
Combine AI scripted, non-adaptive.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Enemies scripted in arena waves.
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.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Minimal randomness.
Optimization3 vs 4

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.
