Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Skater XL leans harder on execution: Dual-stick physics tricks demand real motor precision
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 1
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization3 vs 3
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.
