Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 4
Super Mario Galaxy 2 leans clearly harder on execution.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Precise jumps and gravity navigation define every galaxy
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.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Bosses are scripted patterns, not adapting to you
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.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Levels are deterministic, nothing random
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.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Learning fixed layouts and routes for stars
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.
