Keep Talking and Nobody ExplodesPeggle Extreme
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 3
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 6
Peggle Extreme leans harder on variance: Bounce physics make most outcomes luck after the first peg
Optimization6 vs 4
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes leans harder on optimization: Mastering the manual turns chaos into procedure
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
