Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
South Park: The Fractured But Whole leans harder on variance: Minor roll spread; encounters are otherwise fixed
Optimization8 vs 7
Fire 'n Ice leans harder on optimization: solving optimal ice-melting puzzle sequences
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
