Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 9

Skate 3 leans harder on execution: Analog stick flicks for trick inputs demand fine motor precision

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization5 vs 4

Clustertruck leans harder on optimization: Route lines and ability use for speedruns

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
