Horizon Zero Dawn
Machines follow fixed patterns, not adapting.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Multiplayer duels existed; campaign AI is scripted
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 Zero Dawn
Some loot and patrol randomness.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Sprawling levels surprise once then map out
Optimization5 vs 6
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Weak points, traps, builds fully solvable.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Force power allocation and routing reward planning
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.
