Building comparison
head to head
BioShock 2 RemasteredvsDishonored
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An immersive-sim shooter where combining plasmids and weapons into optimal builds is the deep layer.
Dishonored
Optimization · Practiced Mastery

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.
