The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Loot tables and leveled lists inject mild randomness.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
Every puzzle is a precisely designed closed logic problem with exactly one valid solution
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Skill stacking, enchant loops, and exploits are deeply solvable.
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.
