head to head
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Execution · Light / Casual
A meditative underwater journey about swimming through gorgeous ocean vistas.

Execution · Light / Casual
A fifteen-minute narrated joke that tests nothing but willingness to listen.
ABZÛ leans Execution (Light / Casual); Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist leans Execution (Light / Casual).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ABZÛ
Gentle swimming controls, no fail states
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
Walking and pulling levers, nothing more
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ABZÛ
No opponents at all
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
A scripted narrator is not an opponent
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ABZÛ
Scripted reveals, minimal surprise
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
Fifteen linear minutes, identical each run
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ABZÛ
Linear path, nothing to solve
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
Nothing to solve - the joke is the content
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.
