Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
First-pass unknowns in puzzles and arenas.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization7 vs 6
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
Clank's time puzzles and weapon economy are solvable systems.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
