Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
Surgeon Simulator 2013 leans harder on variance: Floppy physics adds chaos but procedures themselves are fixed
Optimization3 vs 4
Surgeon Simulator 2013 leans harder on optimization: Each surgery has a known fastest dissection route
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
