Still Wakes the DeepWatch Dogs: Legion
Axis by axis

Watch Dogs: Legion
AI scripted; no real modeling.
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Still Wakes the Deep
Creature patrol windows and some object locations are unknown first run
Watch Dogs: Legion
Recruit perks and patrols randomize widely.
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Still Wakes the Deep
Safe-path knowledge and object-use sequences are memorisable
Watch Dogs: Legion
Recruit synergy, gadgets, routes solvable.
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.
