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

The Last of Us leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.

Bow and gun combat with modest aim demands.
The Last of Us
Aim, stealth timing, and scarce-ammo combat

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

RDA enemies fully scripted.
The Last of Us
Enemy AI searches but follows mappable routines
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Gear quality and gathering lightly randomized.
The Last of Us
Encounter layouts unknown first time only
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Cooking, gear, and traversal routes solvable.
The Last of Us
Resource crafting and encounter routing
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.
