Disco Elysium: The Final CutvsOrwell: Ignorance is Strength
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Variance · Systems & Chaos
Building a psyche and gaming dice checks through a dense authored narrative.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Sifting hidden documents and deducing which evidence shapes the scripted story.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut leans Variance (Systems & Chaos); Orwell: Ignorance is Strength leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Skill builds and check preparation are the solvable layer
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Choosing which evidence to upload is a solvable deduction puzzle
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.
