Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hitman: Codename 47
First-run guard routes and triggers are unknown
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Patrol routes unknown only until observed
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hitman: Codename 47
Learning the level clockwork is the whole game
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Camo, routing, food and boss knowledge solve every encounter
