Axis by axis

Execution3 vs 4

Transistor leans harder on execution: Real-time and planned hybrid combat.

Reads0 vs 1

Transistor leans harder on reads: Process enemies follow scripts.

Variance2 vs 2

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization7 vs 7

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.
