Worms 2 leans harder on execution: Ninja rope mastery and pixel-perfect grenade arcs win games.
Reads6 vs 6
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 4
The Isle leans harder on variance: Open server world hides who is nearby
Optimization4 vs 5
Worms 2 leans harder on optimization: Weapon economy and positioning theory are studyable.
