Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Extreme-G: XG2 leans harder on execution: Holding the racing line at extreme speed is the whole challenge
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 3
Extreme-G: XG2 leans harder on optimization: Bike choice and track memorisation give consistent edges
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
