Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
Skate 2 leans harder on variance: Static city, deterministic physics
Optimization4 vs 5
TrackMania DS leans harder on optimization: Finding the optimal racing line is half the medal chase
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
