Axis by axis

Execution3 vs 4

Transistor leans harder on execution: Real-time and planned hybrid combat.

Reads1 vs 1

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization8 vs 7

Lock's Quest leans harder on optimization: Turret placement and defensive engineering is the game

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
