Execution · Pure Mechanics
Reflex driving through traffic with learnable shortcut and boost routes.
Balloon Fight leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Burnout Legends leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Enemy drift and lightning add arcade randomness
Burnout Legends
Traffic patterns inject run-to-run chaos

Track shortcuts and takedown routes are learnable
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.
