Dishonored 2Red Dead Redemption 2
Axis by axis

Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.

Dishonored 2
Guards scripted; alert patterns fixed.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored 2
Patrols and chaos rating vary lightly.
Red Dead Redemption 2

Powers, routes, ghost runs deeply solvable.
Red Dead Redemption 2
