Axis by axis

Execution9 vs 8

DiRT Rally 2.0 leans harder on execution: Millimetre steering corrections at speed define stage time

Reads1 vs 2

Hand Simulator: Survival leans harder on reads: Other players exist but combat is chaotic, not modeling

Variance4 vs 4

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization6 vs 4

DiRT Rally 2.0 leans harder on optimization: Car setup and service-park tyre choices are fully solvable pre-stage

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
