Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
Child of Light leans harder on execution: Timeline interrupts need only light timing
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
Child of Light leans harder on variance: Minor drop randomness
Optimization8 vs 8
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
