Building comparison
head to head
Despicable Me: Minion RushvsSonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Fighting unreliable physics demands constant correction
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
