DayZ leans Variance (Grand Arena); Mario Kart World leans Execution (Twitch Chaos).
DayZMario Kart World
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads6 vs 4
DayZ leans harder on reads: every survivor met may lie, ambush, or befriend
Variance7 vs 6
DayZ leans harder on variance: loot spawns and who you meet are unknowable
Optimization5 vs 4
DayZ leans harder on optimization: map knowledge and survival routines compound
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
