DiRT 4Everspace
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
DiRT 4 leans harder on execution: Procedural stages still demand consistent throttle and apex discipline
Reads1 vs 0
DiRT 4 leans harder on reads: Time-attack structure has no adaptive opponent
Variance4 vs 5
Everspace leans harder on variance: Procedural sectors and loot rolls each run
Optimization5 vs 6
Everspace leans harder on optimization: Perk economy and per-run resource routing
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
