Circle of BloodvsStill Life 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.

Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Circle of Blood
no physical skill, point-and-click
Still Life 2
no physical skill beyond puzzle interaction
Reads0 vs 1
Still Life 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Circle of Blood
no opponents, puzzle-driven
Still Life 2
no adversarial opponent, investigative narrative
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Circle of Blood
no meaningful randomness
Still Life 2
minimal randomness, fixed puzzle solutions
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Circle of Blood
inventory puzzle logic is solvable
Still Life 2
puzzle logic solving is the main systems layer
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.
