Axis by axis

Aliens vs. Predator
aim and melee timing across species
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.

Aliens vs. Predator
human opponents in multiplayer modes
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Enemies use fixed AI behaviours; no adaptation.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aliens vs. Predator
enemy spawns and drops vary
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization4 vs 6
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans clearly harder on optimization.
Aliens vs. Predator
class abilities and routes solvable
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
