Axis by axis

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.
Zombie Army Trilogy
Spawn timing varies a little between runs
Optimization6 vs 4
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt leans clearly harder on optimization.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Builds, alchemy, and quest routing reward planning.
Zombie Army Trilogy
Choke points, trap placement and ammo economy 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.
