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

Punishing 2D gunplay that tests raw aim and movement against fixed deadly rooms.

Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Butcher
Brutal twitch aim and movement under instant-death pressure
DOOM (2016)
Aim, movement, glory-kill timing all peak.
Reads0 vs 1
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Butcher
Enemy placements and behaviours are fixed scripts
DOOM (2016)
Demons scripted attack patterns.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Butcher
Levels are deterministic, runs differ only by your play
DOOM (2016)
Minimal encounter randomness.
Optimization4 vs 5
DOOM (2016) leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Butcher
Weapon choice and room routing reward study
DOOM (2016)
Rune and weapon mod picks meaningful.
