Axis by axis

Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Profile-driven changes are hidden first time through
State of Decay
Dynamic events, infestations and survivor traits roll randomly
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Chase routes and profile outcomes converge with knowledge
State of Decay
Base building, resource runs and survivor management are the game
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.
