The four axes - the argument

Each axis is rated on its own - how far one cheat would trivialize the game here. They don't trade off; low on all four means the game is an experience, not a contest.

  1. Execution

    cheat: Aimbot - perfect inputs

    2/10

    Clunky intentional interface; speed helps but rarely decides.

  2. Reads

    cheat: Out-predict an adaptive opponent

    6/10

    Hidden human traitors bait, frame, and adapt to suspicion.

  3. Variance

    cheat: See what's hidden / map the RNG

    7/10

    Random antagonists, events, and chaos define every shift.

  4. Optimization

    cheat: A perfect solver / coach

    7/10

    Deep departmental systems - atmos, chemistry, engineering - reward mastery.

How to read this

Each axis is named by the cheat that would break the game along it. Execution is the hands. Reads is out-thinking an adaptive opponent. Variance is hidden information & RNG. Optimization is the solvable systems layer. A game's region is the top one or two axes.

These four aren't one rating split four ways - they're independent 0-10 questions. A 9 on one axis takes nothing from the others, and a game low on all four isn't missing data: it's telling you there's no skill here to cheat.

The basis is how the majority actually plays this game - not a niche mode or a personal run. For a game with very different modes (a story campaign versus ranked multiplayer), that's the version most people mean.
