Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Crash Bandicoot: Warped leans harder on execution: Precise platforming plus time-trial mastery
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
R-Type Final 2 leans harder on variance: Minimal RNG; stages are fully deterministic once learned
Optimization6 vs 8
R-Type Final 2 leans harder on optimization: Force pod attachment strategy and ship selection are deeply solvable systems
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
