head to head
South Park: The Stick of TruthvsThe Witcher
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A gentle turn-based system easily solved by build and gear choices.
The Witcher
Optimization · Pure Optimization
CD Projekt's first RPG, a dark fantasy of monster contracts and morally gray choices.
South Park: The Stick of Truth leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); The Witcher leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

South Park: The Stick of Truth
Build, gear and ability choices comfortably solve every fight
The Witcher
Signs, potions, and style matchups form the real game
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.
