Axis by axis

Mega Man X5 leans clearly harder on execution.
Mega Man X5
Dash-jump precision and boss dodge timing demand clean hands
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Mega Man X5
Mavericks cycle fixed attack patterns
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Enemies use fixed AI behaviours; no adaptation.
Variance1 vs 2

Mega Man X5
Random ending triggers add rare unmapped outcomes
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.
Mega Man X5
Armor parts, boss order and route knowledge solve the game
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.
