Axis by axis

Execution6 vs 7

Wreckfest leans harder on execution: Demolition driving, ramming angles

Reads4 vs 3

Havocado leans harder on reads: Human opponents feint and adapt, though physics drowns much of it

Variance5 vs 4

Havocado leans harder on variance: Wobbly physics and random scenarios scramble outcomes constantly

Optimization2 vs 4

Wreckfest leans harder on optimization: Car upgrades and durability tuning

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
