Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4

Aim and traversal matter but generous powers forgive sloppiness
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.
Reads2 vs 1
Crackdown 3 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Crackdown 3
PvP Wrecking Zone adds light prediction; campaign foes are scripted
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.
Crackdown 3
Open-world enemy placement is fixed once explored
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.
Crackdown 3
Orb routing and skill-leveling order drive progression efficiency
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.
