Anno 2070Portal 2
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 3
Portal 2 leans clearly harder on execution.
Anno 2070
Building and routing, no reflexes
Portal 2
Portal placement requires some precision but timing is lenient.
Reads1 vs 0
Anno 2070 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Anno 2070
Faction AI is scripted
Portal 2
No opponent; puzzles are static.
Variance1 vs 0
Anno 2070 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Anno 2070
Map generation varies resources slightly
Portal 2
Puzzles are deterministic with no randomness.
Optimization9 vs 9
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Anno 2070
Eco-versus-industry chains reward exact balancing
Portal 2
Solving the puzzle's logic IS the entire 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.
