Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Mass Effect 3 leans harder on execution: More combat focus, biotic combos demand timing
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
Transistor leans harder on variance: Limited randomness.
Optimization7 vs 7
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
