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.
What Remains of Edith Finch
Execution · Light / Casual
A collection of short stories about a family's strange deaths.
Das Balkonzimmer leans Execution (Light / Casual); What Remains of Edith Finch leans Execution (Light / Casual).
Das BalkonzimmerWhat Remains of Edith Finch
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
What Remains of Edith Finch
Varied vignettes require light input skill.
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
What Remains of Edith Finch
No adversaries.
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
What Remains of Edith Finch
Stories are fixed.
Optimization1 vs 2
What Remains of Edith Finch leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Das Balkonzimmer
No real systems to solve or win condition
What Remains of Edith Finch
Little to optimize.
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.
