Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 5

Not a Hero
Slide-cancels, snap cover and reload timing decide every room
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Not a Hero
Enemies follow fixed behaviours, nothing adapts to you
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Not a Hero
Minor enemy spawn jitter, levels otherwise deterministic
Red Dead Redemption 2

Learning room layouts and routing kills enables full-clear runs
Red Dead Redemption 2
