≠ Its own twist: horror tension, strong narrative focus and melee combat, while skipping puzzle design

Three separate campaigns — Marine, Alien and Predator — each rebuilding the game around a different body: the Marine's motion tracker and dread, the Alien's wall-crawling, the Predator's cloak and vision modes. The Marine campaign is the one that holds up. The other two are short and thin by comparison, and the multiplayer that carried it in 2010 is long dead.

≠ Stands apart with sports simulation, deep simulation and ranged combat, while skipping puzzle design

A hunting simulator far more patient than its arcade cousins: animals track scent and sound, and a session can be hours of walking before a single shot. That deliberate pace is the entire point. It is also free-to-play with most maps and weapons behind purchases, and the pacing will bore anyone expecting a shooter.

≠ Stands apart with precision platforming and Metroidvania exploration, while skipping puzzle design

The darkest and hardest of the Prime games: a light and dark world where the dark one drains health continuously, so exploration runs on a clock. Boss design is excellent. The ammo system for beams is the divisive part — it turns experimenting with weapons into a resource decision, and backtracking for keys late on is genuinely tedious.
