Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 2
Azur Lane leans harder on execution: Manual dodging helps but auto-play suffices.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance6 vs 6
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization6 vs 7
Microsoft Minesweeper leans harder on optimization: Constraint deduction from number clues is fully solvable logic
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
