Gran Turismo Sport
Consistent qualifying-pace laps decide online rank
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Gran Turismo Sport
Live opponents create positional duels into corners
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Gran Turismo Sport
Mostly deterministic racing
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.

Gran Turismo Sport
Tyre and fuel strategy in longer races is solvable
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
