Wreckfest
Online derby PvP rewards ramming reads
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hand Simulator: Survival
Physics chaos and spawns create unpredictable situations
Wreckfest
Crash physics chaos
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hand Simulator: Survival
Crafting and survival systems reward some planning
Wreckfest
Car upgrades and durability tuning
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.
