Metaphor: ReFantazioPalworld
Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance4 vs 3
Metaphor: ReFantazio leans harder on variance: Time-gated archetypes and random drops carry meaningful uncertainty
Optimization9 vs 8
Metaphor: ReFantazio leans harder on optimization: Archetype combination, magic affinity routing, and calendar optimisation form the deep solve
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
