Well, I gave a short list already. but I can tell you what come to my mind:
- Less item and gear types
Less gear items? Eh, don't know about that.
- Crafting is way simplier in Hozizon, it is more like Tomb Raider and are just "unlockable" basically for the upgrades
Crafting simplicity isn't really that indicative of scale, even if I agree that it's simpler in Horizon
- Talent tree is smaller and super simple (not a bad thing in term of gameplay, but it is just smaller)
This is accurate
- Map is just not as big as Witcher 3
I haven't seen the breakdown yet. I hear it's bigger in some regards and smaller in others.
- For the story, so far I really like Horizon' story (not going to spoil) and it is just more aligned to my taste than the Witcher 3 but the number of quests and events is just not comparable to the Whitcher 3 (I'm talking about content yes). Not going to give you number but for instance in the first zone, I had like 4 (If I remember well) side quests only.
The Witcher III is a longer game. Yes.
So yah, Horizon has less content overall than the Witcher 3.
Right now, while I hear good arguments, I still say there's no definitive proof to the contrary. For either game.
Again, not saying it is a bad thing and I really like Horizon way more than the Witcher 3, but the "scale" is just not the same; everything is just bigger, more complex and more detailled in the Witcher 3.
I don't know about complexity and detail, but as I suspected, no one knows for sure.

I'm not sure what you are doing here? Are you trying to validate the accuracy of what I'm saying?
I stated some very specific things (like the amount of items (not only types), item types and categories, quests (and NPCs by the way, did not mention it before), crafting options, map size (the map is not bigger and you can see that by playing it, the scale of it is way smaller in Horizon)). This is accurate.
You said you do not know about the number of items; just start both games and look at it; it is just obvious; Horizon got way fewer items and item categories than the Witcher 3. It is a good thing in my opinion because the number of items and even recipe in the Whitcher 3 is just ridiculous to me but it is still a different scale.
I mean those are not about what game or concept is better but about "content" size and scale, which is what we are talking about here after all.
Hoziron is a better game at the end for my taste anyway.
