Axis by axis
Execution10 vs 9
Celeste leans harder on execution: Pixel-perfect dashes and wavedashes are the entire skill.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 1
QWOP leans harder on variance: Physics is near-deterministic given inputs
Optimization4 vs 4
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.
