The expanded dinosaur park sim adding aviaries, lagoons, and chaos-theory scenarios.
Stardew Valley
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A farm-life sim solved by season routing and profit optimization.
Jurassic World Evolution 2 leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Stardew Valley leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Building and capture minigames, low pressure
Stardew Valley
Trivial timing on fishing and combat

Territory, welfare, and scientist logistics optimisation
Stardew Valley
Routing seasons, profit loops, and bundles dominates
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.
