1nsanevsPokemon Ranger
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
1nsane
Execution · Pure Mechanics
An off-road racer testing vehicle control over rough terrain plus freeform route choice.
Pokemon Ranger
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A DS spin-off where you befriend wild Pokemon by drawing unbroken loops around them with the stylus.
1nsane leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Pokemon Ranger leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
1nsane
Wrestling physics-heavy trucks over terrain is the core skill
Pokemon Ranger
Circling Pokemon with the stylus without breaking the loop
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
1nsane
Multiplayer jostling exists but barely rewards prediction
Pokemon Ranger
Capture targets move on set patterns
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
1nsane
Terrain deformation and pile-ups add run noise
Pokemon Ranger
Movement patterns vary slightly per attempt
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
1nsane
Line choice and checkpoint routing across open terrain matter
Pokemon Ranger
Poke Assist choices and capture order help
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.
