Red Dead Redemption 2 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.

Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cat Quest
Gear and level routing is light and quickly mastered
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
