LEGO Battles leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Transistor leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
LEGO BattlesTransistor
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 4
Transistor leans harder on execution: Real-time and planned hybrid combat.
Reads3 vs 1
LEGO Battles leans harder on reads: Multiplayer skirmishes add light human prediction
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization6 vs 7
Transistor leans harder on optimization: Function loadouts have deep optimization.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
