Crayon Physics DeluxevsHitman
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Draw crayon shapes that become physics objects to roll a ball to a star.
Hitman
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A stealth puzzle game where meticulously planning the perfect assassination route is the whole point.
Crayon Physics Deluxe leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Hitman leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
Crayon Physics DeluxeHitman
Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Freehand drawing needs only rough motor control
Hitman
minimal twitch skill, stealth-focused
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Crayon Physics Deluxe
No opponent exists
Hitman
guard patrols scripted, no adaptation
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Physics wobble makes contraptions slightly unpredictable
Hitman
some random guard behavior variance
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Each level rewards inventing an efficient contraption
Hitman
planning routes and disguises is 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.
