Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 5
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl leans harder on execution: Ballistic gunplay punishes sloppy aim
Reads2 vs 1
Bigfoot leans harder on reads: Bigfoot AI is randomized, not adaptive to you
Variance6 vs 5
Bigfoot leans harder on variance: Creature spawns and movement are randomized each hunt
Optimization5 vs 6
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl leans harder on optimization: Artifact economy, routes, and stash knowledge converge
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
