Overcooked
Chopping, carrying, and plating under the clock
Spintires
Throttle finesse and winching through mud need careful hands

Spintires
No opponents
Variance2 vs 3
Spintires leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.

Order queue randomness within known sets
Spintires
Terrain deforms dynamically; fuel and routes uncertain until scouted
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Overcooked
Station assignment and task routing win stars
Spintires
Route choice, fuel logistics, and vehicle selection decide success
