Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 4
Terraria leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Revenge of the Titans
Mid-wave building rewards speed but never twitch-defines outcomes
Terraria
Boss fights require dodging and aim under pressure.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Revenge of the Titans
Titan waves follow set paths without adapting
Terraria
Bosses use scripted attacks; no adaptation.
Variance2 vs 3
Terraria leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Revenge of the Titans
Wave compositions are unknown on a first campaign run
Terraria
World seeds and loot drops randomized.
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Revenge of the Titans
Tech choices, placement and economy are the whole game
Terraria
Gear progression and arena prep solve every boss.
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.
