Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Hidden killer identities and evidence drive trial uncertainty
Sanitarium
Surreal puzzle logic is unknown until reasoned out
Optimization6 vs 7
Sanitarium leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Gathering evidence and building the correct argument chain is a solvable deduction loop
Sanitarium
Every chapter is a deterministic puzzle to solve
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.
