Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Deemo
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A melancholy mobile rhythm game built around piano pieces and a wordless fairy tale.
Driver
Execution · Pure Mechanics
The 70s-cinema getaway driving game with famously demanding physics.
Deemo leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Driver leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Handbrake control and pursuit driving by feel
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
