MotoGP 21
AI scripted; online rivals add light positional prediction
Red Dead Redemption 2

MotoGP 21
Tire wear and weather introduce some chance
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
MotoGP 21 leans clearly harder on optimization.
MotoGP 21
Setup tuning and race strategy underpin lap times
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
