head to head
BlurvsMario Kart 64
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Mario Kart 64
Execution · Twitch Chaos

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.
