Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 5

Pac-Mania
Steering and jump timing under ghost pressure decide runs
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Reads0 vs 1

Pac-Mania
Ghosts run scripted routines, not adaptive minds
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.
Pac-Mania
Ghost movements add mild run-to-run unpredictability
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
Optimization5 vs 4
Pac-Mania leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Pac-Mania
Maze routes and pellet timing have learnable optimal patterns
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
