Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Das Balkonzimmer
Execution · Light / Casual
An aimless physics sandbox about flinging objects around a 3D room.
Gris
Execution · Light / Casual
Wordless watercolor platformer about grief, designed never to punish you.
Das Balkonzimmer leans Execution (Light / Casual); Gris leans Execution (Light / Casual).
Das BalkonzimmerGris
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.
Das Balkonzimmer
Aiming and flinging objects is loose, low-stakes
Gris
Gentle platforming with no fail state
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Das Balkonzimmer
No meaningful adaptive opponent to model
Gris
No opposition at all
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Das Balkonzimmer
Physics outcomes vary slightly but nothing hidden
Gris
Linear and fully authored
Optimization1 vs 2
Gris leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Das Balkonzimmer
No real systems to solve or win condition
Gris
Light environmental puzzles with obvious solutions
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.
