Surgeon Simulator 2013 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); The Need for Speed leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Surgeon Simulator 2013The Need for Speed
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 1
The Need for Speed leans harder on reads: AI rivals and police follow fixed behaviour
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization4 vs 3
Surgeon Simulator 2013 leans harder on optimization: Each surgery has a known fastest dissection route
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
