Axis by axis

Execution8 vs 9

Redout leans harder on execution: Pitch and strafe control at extreme speed is a pure hands test

Reads1 vs 0

F-Zero leans harder on reads: AI racers don't adapt

Variance1 vs 1

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

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.
