Far CryLumines II
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Lumines II leans harder on execution: Placing blocks against the timeline under speed is everything
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 3
Lumines II leans harder on variance: Block sequence is random but bounded and readable
Optimization5 vs 5
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.
