Red Dead Redemption 2Red Faction: Guerrilla
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Hammer swings, driving, and aim amid collapsing structures.

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.
Red Faction: Guerrilla
EDF responses are scripted escalation, not modeling you.
Variance2 vs 3
Red Faction: Guerrilla leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Emergent physics chaos and patrol randomness.
Optimization4 vs 6
Red Faction: Guerrilla leans clearly harder on optimization.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Demolition planning - where to strike a structure - is solvable.
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.
