Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 0
Transistor leans harder on reads: Process enemies follow scripts.
Variance2 vs 2
Even - both lean on variance about the same.
Optimization7 vs 8
Valheim leans harder on optimization: Gear progression and base infrastructure define progress.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
