Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Bastion leans harder on execution: Action combat needs timing and aim.
Reads0 vs 1
Transistor leans harder on reads: Process enemies follow scripts.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization6 vs 7
Transistor leans harder on optimization: Function loadouts have deep optimization.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
