Eliminator Boat DuelFlatOut 2
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 1
FlatOut 2 leans harder on reads: No adaptive opposition worth modeling
Variance2 vs 3
FlatOut 2 leans harder on variance: Crash physics and track debris vary every race
Optimization4 vs 4
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
