Operation Flashpoint: Red River leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Operation Flashpoint: Red River
Enemy placements are unknown until contact
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization6 vs 6

Operation Flashpoint: Red River
Loadouts, class roles and approach planning decide engagements
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.
