Poly Bridge 2The Movies
Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
The Movies leans harder on variance: Star moods and script rolls add light randomness
Optimization9 vs 8
Poly Bridge 2 leans harder on optimization: Budget-constrained engineering is a pure optimization problem
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
