Commandos 3: Destination BerlinvsPlanet Zoo
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.
Planet Zoo
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Designing animal habitats that satisfy complex welfare systems while maintaining zoo profitability.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Planet Zoo 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
Planet Zoo
Animal habitat and path construction demands deliberate precision
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Guards follow fixed patrol scripts, never adapt
Planet Zoo
Animals and guests follow scripted need systems
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
Planet Zoo
Animal welfare stats have minor stochastic variation
Optimization9 vs 8
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin
Each mission reduces to a solvable sequence puzzle
Planet Zoo
Species welfare requirements and financial management are fully solvable
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.
