Unmechanical: Extended EditionViewfinder
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 0
Unmechanical: Extended Edition leans harder on variance: Puzzles are fixed and fully deterministic
Optimization7 vs 8
Viewfinder leans harder on optimization: Deducing which photo angle reconstructs the geometry needed to 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.
