A Way OutIt Takes Two
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 6
It Takes Two leans harder on execution: Co-op platforming demands tight timing, coordination, and spatial precision
Reads2 vs 2
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 5
It Takes Two leans harder on optimization: Each chapter has an optimal movement approach once mechanics are learned
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
