Axis by axis

Execution3 vs 4

Unravel Two leans harder on execution: Light platforming plus two-character swing coordination

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance1 vs 1

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization7 vs 6

Etherborn leans harder on optimization: Each gravity-shifted route is a solvable spatial-logic problem

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