NecropolisvsPostal 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Necropolis
Execution · Twitch Chaos
Souls-flavored melee timing through randomized dungeon floors.
Postal 2
Execution · Twitch Chaos
An open-world provocation sandbox where escalating NPC reactions reward creative routing more than precise gunplay.
Necropolis leans Execution (Twitch Chaos); Postal 2 leans Execution (Twitch Chaos).

Procedural floors and item rolls reshape each run

Errand routing and weapon selection provide a shallow planning layer
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.
