Amnesia: A Machine for PigsvsInfinite Craft
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 0
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Walking and lever-pulling demand essentially nothing physical
Infinite Craft
Dragging two words together takes nothing
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Manpigs are scripted set-dressing, rarely a true threat
Infinite Craft
No opponent of any kind
Variance4 vs 5
Infinite Craft leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
First-run unknowns are the whole experience; spoilers defuse it
Infinite Craft
Combination outcomes are hidden until discovered, vast unmapped space
Optimization5 vs 4
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs
Light puzzles and routes are trivially solvable on repeat
Infinite Craft
Efficient paths to target words exist once recipes are known
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.
