Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Clunky saber combat and platforming ask modest precision
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Combat timing matters but generous dodges forgive sloppy play.
Reads0 vs 1
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Enemies follow simple fixed scripts
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Enemies use fixed AI behaviours; no adaptation.
Variance1 vs 2
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Level layouts are fixed and quickly learned
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
Optimization5 vs 6
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Knowing dialogue paths and level routes carries the game
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
