DOOM (2016)vsSkate.
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
DOOM (2016)
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Push-forward arena FPS where movement and aim are the whole game.
Skate.
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A physics-driven skateboarding game where analog trick execution precision is the entire skill dimension.

Spot selection and trick sequencing for score chases have learnable optimal lines
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.
