Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Dual-stick rolling control matters but forgives sloppiness
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.
Reads0 vs 1
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Beautiful Katamari
Cousins and objects never react to your strategy
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.

Object placements are fixed after a first look
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Size-ordered pickup routing is the real scoring game
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.
