Postal: ReduxSuper Mario Odyssey
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 8
Super Mario Odyssey leans clearly harder on execution.
Postal: Redux
Isometric aim and dodging hostile crowds is the test
Super Mario Odyssey
Precise platforming and capture-move tech ceiling.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Postal: Redux
Hostiles charge by simple fixed logic
Super Mario Odyssey
No adaptive opponents whatsoever.
Variance2 vs 1
Postal: Redux leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Postal: Redux
Spawn placement varies runs slightly
Super Mario Odyssey
Almost no randomness in level design.
Optimization3 vs 5

Postal: Redux
Weapon economy and level knowledge help modestly

Moon routes and movement tech learnable.
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
