Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Dave the Diver
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Day-job hybrid of relaxed spearfishing dives and nightly sushi-bar management.
Green Hell
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Managing layered survival systems - nutrition, disease, and shelter - in an unforgiving jungle.
Dave the Diver leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Green Hell leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 3
Dave the Diver leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Dave the Diver
harpoon aiming and sushi-service minigames
Green Hell
Melee combat and trap placement demand moderate 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.
Dave the Diver
no adaptive opponent
Green Hell
Animal and tribal AI is scripted with fixed behaviour patterns
Variance4 vs 5
Green Hell leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.

daily fish spawns and sea changes vary
Green Hell
Disease, injury, and weather introduce layered randomness
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dave the Diver
restaurant economy and gear upgrades drive progress
Green Hell
Nutrition tracking, shelter design, and crafting order form a solvable loop
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.
