Anomaly 2vsConan Exiles
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Anomaly 2
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A reverse tower defense testing convoy routing and unit composition against fixed defensive layouts.
Conan Exiles
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Survival sandbox with brutal PvP base raiding.
Anomaly 2 leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Conan Exiles leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 4
Conan Exiles leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Anomaly 2
Steering the commander and ability drops needs light real-time hands
Conan Exiles
Melee and bow combat inputs
Reads3 vs 3
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Anomaly 2
Tower-offense versus humans in multiplayer adds some prediction
Conan Exiles
PvP raids reward reading defenders
Variance1 vs 2
Conan Exiles leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Anomaly 2
Campaign tower layouts are fixed and learnable
Conan Exiles
Loot and purge events
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Anomaly 2
Convoy composition, routing, and morph timing are the real test
Conan Exiles
Base layout, thrall farming, gear progression
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.
