Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
FlatOut 2 leans harder on variance: Crash physics and track debris vary every race
Optimization4 vs 5
Test Drive: Off-Road 2 leans harder on optimization: Vehicle choice and track knowledge reward planning
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
