the cheat-test profile

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

    1/10

    Walking and interacting; minimal physical demand.

  2. Reads

    cheat: Out-predict an adaptive opponent

    1/10

    Partner is an ally; puzzles never adapt.

  3. Variance

    cheat: See what's hidden / map the RNG

    5/10

    Asymmetric hidden information is the core mechanic.

  4. Optimization

    cheat: A perfect solver / coach

    8/10

    Fixed symbol-and-mechanism puzzles, fully solvable once both sides known.

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.
