Baldur's Gate 3
Dice rolls, hidden checks, encounter RNG everywhere.
Reventure
A hundred hidden endings are the discovery engine
Optimization9 vs 6

Baldur's Gate 3
Builds, party comp, action economy fully solvable.
Reventure
Routing each ending efficiently becomes the late-game puzzle
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.
