Axis by axis

Manhunt 2
Execution-hold timing and stealth movement need steady hands
Terraria
Boss fights require dodging and aim under pressure.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Manhunt 2
Hunter AI patrols on fixed search scripts
Terraria
Bosses use scripted attacks; no adaptation.

Unknown patrol layouts until a level is scouted
Terraria

Manhunt 2
Shadow routes and lure setups make levels solvable puzzles
Terraria
Gear progression and arena prep solve every boss.
