Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Deponia
Deterministic puzzle world with fixed solutions
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Solutions hidden until reasoned out

Deponia
Convoluted Rube Goldberg puzzle chains demand careful causal mapping
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Three-path puzzle chains reward deduction
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.
