Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 9
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
Raiden V leans harder on variance: Patterns are memorizable, little true randomness
Optimization6 vs 5
Ghostrunner leans harder on optimization: Route planning and enemy-order solutions define fast clears
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
