Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Psychonauts
Level layouts are fixed and quickly known
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Linear authored adventure
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Psychonauts
Collectible routing and power upgrades add light planning
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
