Apex LegendsvsInsurgency
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Apex Legends

A movement-heavy battle royale shooter where squads fight for loot and zone control.
Insurgency
Execution · Competitive PvP
Hardcore team shooter where one bullet kills and the HUD tells you nothing.

Insurgency

Loadout points and objective route knowledge
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.
