Air CombatvsDriver
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Arcade dogfighting reflexes against scripted enemy flight patterns.
Driver
Execution · Pure Mechanics
The 70s-cinema getaway driving game with famously demanding physics.
Air Combat leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Driver leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

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.
