CSI: Hard EvidenceGorogoa
Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 0
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
CSI: Hard Evidence leans harder on variance: Clues are hidden until found, but placement never changes
Optimization6 vs 7
Gorogoa leans harder on optimization: Each panel arrangement has one elegant solvable answer
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
