Bow aim, stealth timing, and platforming sequences.
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Blaster aim and movement through trooper waves

Star Wars: Dark Forces

Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Tomb unknowns dissolve after one visit.
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Maze layouts unknown only on first visit
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Tomb puzzles, crafting, and collectible routing are solvable.
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Level navigation and key-hunting are the real test
