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

Optimization · Pure Optimization
An action-RPG hybrid driven by crafting, specialization, and war-table routing.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Grid-based dungeon crawler about riddles, secret buttons, and square-dancing around monsters.

Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Action-leaning combat, dodge timing matters
Legend of Grimrock
Real-time grid strafing around slow monsters
Dragon Age: Inquisition leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Scripted enemy behaviour
Legend of Grimrock
Monsters chase on simple fixed logic
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Some loot randomization
Legend of Grimrock
Secrets hidden until found, then fixed
Legend of Grimrock leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Crafting, specialization, war table planning
Legend of Grimrock
Party builds, riddles, and pressure-plate puzzles dominate
