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

Execution8 vs 7
Dino Stalker leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Dino Stalker
Light-gun aim and fast reactions decide survival
The Need for Speed
Holding racing lines at speed through traffic is the test
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Dinosaurs charge on fixed scripts, nothing to predict
The Need for Speed
AI rivals and police follow fixed behaviour
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Spawn timing adds modest unpredictability
The Need for Speed
Traffic patterns add mild run-to-run noise
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Ammo and weapon management are light secondary concerns
The Need for Speed
Track knowledge and car choice settle quickly
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.
