InscryptionTerra Invicta
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads2 vs 2
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 6
Terra Invicta leans harder on variance: Alien incursion timing and random nation resistance rolls carry real unknowns
Optimization8 vs 9
Terra Invicta leans harder on optimization: Faction tech trees and Earth nation control routing form a deeply solvable layer
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
