Metro 2033
mutants and bandits follow scripts
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Variance3 vs 2

Metro 2033
hidden moral points and supplies first run
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.

ammo-as-currency economy and stealth routing
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

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.
