True Crime: New York City
Criminals and informants act on scripts
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Loot rolls and minor combat variance only.
True Crime: New York City
Random street crimes inject mild unpredictability

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.
