Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 4

Greedfall
Lock-on action combat, modest demand
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.
Greedfall
Scripted enemy patterns
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.
Greedfall
Loot and check rolls
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.

Greedfall
Faction routing, builds, crafting central
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.
