Lock's QuestTransistor
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.
