HellSinkerNier: Automata
Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 8
HellSinker leans harder on execution: Precise dodging through dense bullet patterns is paramount
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
HellSinker leans harder on variance: Some randomized spawns but patterns largely fixed
Optimization6 vs 6
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
