Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Horizon Forbidden West
Loot rolls and patrol RNG light.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Skill checks and durability rolls
Optimization6 vs 6

Horizon Forbidden West
Deeper gear, weapon techniques, machine weaknesses.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
