Building comparison
head to head

Hitman: Codename 47
Optimization · Pure Optimization
The original stealth assassination sim where each mission is a clockwork puzzle.
Thronefall
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Minimalist build-order puzzles defended with light real-time positioning.
Hitman: Codename 47 leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Thronefall leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Hitman: Codename 47Thronefall
Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hitman: Codename 47
Stiff aiming and unforgiving stealth movement
Thronefall
Kiting and positioning your lord at night takes modest control
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hitman: Codename 47
Guards follow fixed scripted patrols
Thronefall
Waves are previewed and scripted, never adaptive
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
Thronefall
Minimal randomness; wave compositions are shown
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
Thronefall
Build order and perk loadouts decide every map
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.
