Building comparison
head to head
BattleTechvsHer Story
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
BattleTech
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Turn-based mech tactics where lance builds and heat math decide drawn-out slugfests.
Her Story
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A search-based detective game piecing together police interview footage.
BattleTech leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Her Story leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Her Story
Subject is recorded, not adaptive.

Mech builds, heat management, and initiative play
Her Story
Efficient search strategy reconstructs the case.
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.
