Paragraphe introductif du test d'un jeu video de combat :

XX has certainly put on a good show, and laid a sound foundation upon which to build the next game, but several errant balance and design decisions regarding both striking and grappling knock the teeth out of what should feel like a high-stakes ***game of inches***.

jeu de combat millimétré
Explanation:
Je suis l'explication d'Adrien. Avec cette proposition, on s'écarte certes de la nuance de compétition serrée, mais on reflète la conception très précise du jeu qui aboutit à ce résultat.
Sans doute faudrait-il réinsérer la nuance perdue d'une autre manière dans la phrase. Suggestion facile : "jeu compétitif millimétré".

agree  Michel Virasolvy: En boxe on utilise bien l'expression « jeu de jambes », le parallèle entre les jambes du boxeur et les doigts du joueur est juste évident. Quand on atteind le stade de prise en compte des hitbox des persos en mouvement, oui, "millimétré" est le mot.
