Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus
Fixed level layouts, minimal hidden information
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.

Weapon upgrade paths, bolt economy, gold bolt routing
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
