FezFire 'n Ice
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.
Variance0 vs 1
Fire 'n Ice leans harder on variance: deterministic puzzle layouts
Optimization9 vs 8
Fez leans harder on optimization: Decoding the deep cipher system and spatial cube logic is the core challenge
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
