Execution · Practiced Mastery
A loot-driven action shooter combining precise combat execution with deep weapon-crafting optimisation.
Wizard of Legend
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A fast spell-combo roguelite where execution of learned arcana chains is the decisive axis.

Council enemies and bosses have scripted attack choreography
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Shadow Warrior 2
Loot drops and procedural mission modifiers introduce meaningful variance
Wizard of Legend
Arcana and relic drops vary per run, opening different combo paths
Optimization7 vs 6
Shadow Warrior 2 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Shadow Warrior 2
Weapon modding and skill build optimisation form a deep solvable layer
Wizard of Legend
Spell combo optimisation and arcana synergy selection reward deep knowledge
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.
