Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Back to the Future leans harder on variance: Obstacle mixes vary slightly per attempt
Optimization3 vs 4
Steep leans harder on optimization: Line choice and trick scoring math reward study
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
