DiscworldvsPersona 3 Portable
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

A notoriously difficult comedy adventure where Rincewind the inept wizard must rid Ankh-Morpork of a dragon.
Persona 3 Portable
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Optimising a strict social calendar and fusion economy against scripted dungeon combat.
Discworld leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Persona 3 Portable leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
DiscworldPersona 3 Portable
Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 1
Persona 3 Portable leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Discworld
Point-and-click; no manual ceiling.
Persona 3 Portable
Menu-driven combat needs no physical skill
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Discworld
Ankh-Morpork's citizens are scripted gag dispensers.
Persona 3 Portable
Shadows follow scripted weakness patterns, never adapt
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Discworld
Infamously obscure puzzle logic blindsides every first-timer.
Persona 3 Portable
Tartarus layouts and fusion results carry randomness
Optimization7 vs 8
Persona 3 Portable leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Discworld
Byzantine item chains are brutal but fully solvable.
Persona 3 Portable
Calendar scheduling and persona fusion form a solvable system
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.
