Rayman OriginsTrue Lies

Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Rayman Origins
Fluid run-jump-glide chains
True Lies
Top-down aim and dodging carry every firefight
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Rayman Origins
Scripted enemies
True Lies
Goons follow simple fixed attack scripts
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Rayman Origins
Deterministic levels
True Lies
Enemy placements repeat identically each run

Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Rayman Origins
Lum routing for perfection
True Lies
Learning level layouts, hostage spots and ammo caches
