Fatal FrameThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fatal Frame
Camera framing and shutter timing on ghosts
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.
Fatal Frame
Ghosts wander but never adapt to you
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Enemies use fixed AI behaviours; no adaptation.
Variance4 vs 2
Fatal Frame leans clearly harder on variance.
Fatal Frame
Ghost appearances feel unpredictable until learned
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.
Fatal Frame
Item routing, film economy, learning ghost patterns
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.
