Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 2
Cut the Rope: Time Travel leans harder on execution: Some cuts need decent timing, never twitch reflexes
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization7 vs 8
Viewfinder leans harder on optimization: Deducing which photo angle reconstructs the geometry needed to progress
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
