Axis by axis

Rogue Legacy
Platformer combat requires reactive dodging and timing
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.
Reads0 vs 1

Castle enemies are scripted; no adaptive opponent exists
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Enemies use fixed AI behaviours; no adaptation.
Variance5 vs 2
Rogue Legacy leans clearly harder on variance.
Rogue Legacy
Heir traits and room layouts introduce run-to-run randomness
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.
Rogue Legacy
Gold investment and class unlocking form a steady meta-progression layer
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.
