Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Dishonored 2 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Dishonored 2
Blink, parry, and aim timing matter.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dishonored 2
Guards scripted; alert patterns fixed.
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.
Dishonored 2
Patrols and chaos rating vary lightly.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization7 vs 6
Dishonored 2 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Dishonored 2
Powers, routes, ghost runs deeply solvable.
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.
