Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
Crysis 2 leans harder on variance: Mostly known encounters with mild patrol randomness
Optimization4 vs 5
Crysis 2 leans harder on optimization: Suit energy management and choosing stealth-versus-armor approaches
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
