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

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Pirate AI uses fixed alert patterns.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Cooking, gear, and traversal routes solvable.
Far Cry 3
Skill trees and weapon mods quickly mastered.
