Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hollow Knight
Bosses run scripted attack pools; not adaptive.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Inquisitors telegraph fixed movesets - nothing models you
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.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Enemy layouts are fixed after first sight
Optimization6 vs 5
Hollow Knight leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Hollow Knight
Charm builds and boss routes are fully learnable.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
