The SwapperThe Talos Principle 2
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 1
The Swapper leans harder on execution: Light platforming; precision rarely gates progress
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 0
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization8 vs 9
The Talos Principle 2 leans harder on optimization: Expanded connector and accumulator mechanics require exact logical sequencing
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
