Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 2
Remnant II leans harder on reads: Bosses scripted, not adaptive
Variance7 vs 6
Noita leans harder on variance: Procedural world and wand drops dominate runs.
Optimization8 vs 7
Noita leans harder on optimization: Wand crafting and pixel physics reward deep mastery.
