Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Ing follow scripted patterns
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
dark-world hazards surprise until learned
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.

dual-world routing and key hunts reward planning
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.
