killer7
Critical-point shots and reloads under pressure
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Red Dead Redemption 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
killer7
No adaptive opposition; enemies fully scripted
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

First-run Heaven Smile reveals and obtuse twists
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
killer7 leans clearly harder on optimization.
killer7
Persona puzzles and routes have fixed solutions
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
