Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads2 vs 2
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
Cel Damage leans harder on variance: Weapon pickups scatter randomly across arenas
Optimization3 vs 4
F.E.A.R. 3 leans harder on optimization: Cover usage and power timing are quickly learned
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
