Hitman GoThe Talos Principle
Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 1
The Talos Principle leans harder on execution: Carrying items and timing fan avoidance is trivial
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization9 vs 9
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.
