Choplifter!vsSteep
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Choplifter!
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A precision flying test of rescuing hostages under scripted fire.
Steep
Execution · Pure Mechanics
An open-world extreme sports game about carving ski, snowboard, and wingsuit lines down the Alps.
Choplifter! leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Steep leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Choplifter!Steep
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Choplifter!
Precise helicopter control under fire is the entire challenge
Steep
Landing tricks and threading lines at speed is hands-first
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Choplifter!
Tanks and jets attack on fixed logic
Steep
The mountain never adapts to you
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Choplifter!
Threats are predictable after a few runs
Steep
Fixed terrain, deterministic physics
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Routing rescue trips efficiently maximises the 64 hostages

Line choice and trick scoring math reward study
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.
