Breakable-weapon melee asks little precision
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.
Silent Hill: Origins
Enemies are scripted patterns
Terraria
Bosses use scripted attacks; no adaptation.
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Weapon inventory and puzzle routes converge quickly
Terraria
Gear progression and arena prep solve every boss.
