Building comparison
head to head
BanishedvsMario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Harsh village-builder; balance population, food, and winter.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Turn-based tactics where movement combos turn battles into solvable puzzles.
Banished leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Banished
no mechanical layer
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Turn-based; no dexterity gate
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Banished

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Enemy AI follows predictable rules
Variance3 vs 3

Hit chances are mostly deterministic percentages
Optimization9 vs 8

population ratios and food planning
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Movement chains and team-jump routing are puzzle-solvable
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.
