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

Optimization · Pure Optimization
A tower-defense-style strategy game defending against alien comet invasions.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Classic open-world RPG where stats and broken crafting systems trump twitch skill.
Comet Crash 2: The Kronkoid Wars leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Comet Crash 2: The Kronkoid Wars
minimal direct control, mostly tactical placement
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Dice-roll combat ignores aim skill
Comet Crash 2: The Kronkoid Wars leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Comet Crash 2: The Kronkoid Wars
limited AI opponent adaptation
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
No adaptive opposition
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Comet Crash 2: The Kronkoid Wars
randomized comet and enemy spawns
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Hit chances rolled behind the screen
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Comet Crash 2: The Kronkoid Wars
tower/unit placement strategy optimization
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Alchemy and spellcrafting are famously solvable
