Layers of Fear (2016)Platform 8
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 6
Platform 8 leans harder on variance: Spotting which anomaly spawned is hidden-information detection
Optimization4 vs 5
Platform 8 leans harder on optimization: Once the anomaly catalogue is memorised, runs become routine
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
