Commandos 3: Destination BerlinvsHitman 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Real-time tactics where every mission is a clockwork stealth puzzle to be solved.
Hitman 2
Optimization · Pure Optimization
More sandbox murder puzzles with routing as the core skill.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Hitman 2 leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 3
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Tight click timing chaining distractions and kills
Hitman 2
Light input demands at action moments.
Reads0 vs 1
Hitman 2 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Guards follow fixed patrol scripts, never adapt
Hitman 2
NPCs follow fixed routines.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Unknown patrols only until scouted, then fully mapped
Hitman 2
Minor patrol and disguise randomness.
Optimization9 vs 9
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Each mission reduces to a solvable sequence puzzle
Hitman 2
Each map a routing optimization problem.
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.
