Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Silent Hill 2 Remake
Some encounter and item randomness
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization6 vs 6

Resource conservation and puzzle solving dominate
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
