Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 1
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat leans harder on reads: A-Life simulation doesn't counter-adapt to you
Variance5 vs 5
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization7 vs 6
Once Human leans harder on optimization: Scenario tech tree, base construction, and gear crafting are solvable
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
