Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7

Multi-class pack racing rewards precise braking and positional awareness
New World: Aeternum
Active dodge-block-aim combat demands real twitch skill

GRID Legends
Aggressive AI nemesis system and human lobbies require opponent reading
New World: Aeternum
Open-world PvP wars and outpost rush involve adaptive opponents
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
GRID Legends
Multi-car incidents and nemesis aggression add real race chaos
New World: Aeternum
Gear drops add variance but crafting reduces reliance on RNG
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
GRID Legends
Car upgrades, team hire and race strategy are cleanly solvable layers
New World: Aeternum
Weapon mastery and territory control strategies are systematically solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
