Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 2
Closure leans harder on execution: Some jumps over light-defined floors need care
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization8 vs 9
Fez leans harder on optimization: Decoding the deep cipher system and spatial cube logic is the core challenge
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
