Mega TurricanOri and the Blind Forest
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Mega Turrican leans harder on execution: Run-and-gun precision and dodging define every stage
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
Mega Turrican leans harder on variance: Fixed levels with little randomness once learned
Optimization4 vs 4
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.
