A Way OutvsCelebrity Deathmatch
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
A Way Out
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A co-op action-adventure where two players must synchronise execution and planning to break out and stay free.
Celebrity Deathmatch
Execution · Competitive PvP
A shallow novelty wrestler testing little beyond basic timing and weapon grabs.
A Way Out leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Celebrity Deathmatch leans Execution (Competitive PvP).

A Way Out
Enemy patrols have scripted paths with some unpredictability
Celebrity Deathmatch

A Way Out
Escape routes and combat approaches have learnable optimal lines
Celebrity Deathmatch
Learning each celebrity's finisher exhausts the depth fast
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.
