Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
FAR: Lone Sails leans harder on variance: Mostly fixed obstacles, minor unknowns first run
Optimization5 vs 6
Microsoft Train Simulator leans harder on optimization: Mastering braking curves and timetables is the whole skill
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
