Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
All bosses run fixed movesets
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hollow Knight
Negligible; world layout is fixed.
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Optimization6 vs 5

Hollow Knight
Charm builds and boss routes are fully learnable.
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
