Axis by axis

Wolfenstein: Youngblood

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.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Mission boards and loot add mild randomness
Optimization6 vs 5
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
RPG levels, weapon mods, and enemy armor types dominate
