Pragmata
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Splitting attention between hacking puzzles and gunplay against patterned machines.

Mirror's Edge CatalystPragmata
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Flow-state parkour with timing-based combat
Pragmata
Juggling real-time hacking minigames while shooting demands coordination
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Enemies are scripted obstacles
Pragmata
Robotic enemies follow designed patterns, not adaptation
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Open world is static once explored
Pragmata
Authored sci-fi campaign with little randomness
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Time trials reward optimal route discovery
Pragmata
Sequencing hack-then-shoot solutions per enemy is the puzzle
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.
