Colin McRae: DirtTetris Effect: Connected
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 9
Tetris Effect: Connected leans harder on execution: Precision placement under acceleration is the entire skill ceiling
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 3
Tetris Effect: Connected leans harder on variance: Piece bag is bounded random but quickly mappable
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.
