Axis by axis

Pac-Man 99
Maze steering at speed under jammer pressure decides survival
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Pac-Man 99
98 opponents are anonymous noise, not readable minds
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Variance4 vs 2
Pac-Man 99 leans clearly harder on variance.
Pac-Man 99
Incoming attacks and ghost spawns randomize each match
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.
Pac-Man 99
Ghost-train routing and target strategies have known best lines
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.
