Tokyo Jungle
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Survival action game where a Pomeranian or deer claws through a post-human Tokyo food chain.

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.
