Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 4
Resident Evil 4 leans clearly harder on execution.
Resident Evil 4
Crowd management requires precise, fast shooting under constant pressure
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Resident Evil 4
Ganados follow scripted group patterns, not player modelling
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Enemies use fixed AI behaviours; no adaptation.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Resident Evil 4
Minor drop RNG from enemies but encounters are fixed
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.
Resident Evil 4
Weapon upgrading, positioning and merchant economy are solvable
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.
