Intrusion 2Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Intrusion 2 leans harder on variance: Ragdoll physics adds chaotic but shallow noise
Optimization5 vs 6
Mirror's Edge Catalyst leans harder on optimization: Time trials reward optimal route discovery
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
