Far CryThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 4
Far Cry leans clearly harder on execution.
Far Cry
Long-range gunplay against sharp-eyed mercenaries
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.

AI flanks but follows mappable behaviour
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.
Far Cry
Patrols vary slightly per attempt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization5 vs 6
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Far Cry
Approach planning across open tropical maps
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.
