head to head
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Execution · Pure Mechanics
The 70s-cinema getaway driving game with famously demanding physics.

Execution · Pure Mechanics
A platformer creation tool where precise jumps and timing carry both building and playing.
Driver leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario Maker 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Driver
Handbrake control and pursuit driving by feel
Super Mario Maker 2
precise platforming and timing required
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Driver
Police AI is mappable
Super Mario Maker 2
no opponents in level play
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Driver
Traffic adds mild unpredictability
Super Mario Maker 2
minimal randomness in level design
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Driver
City routes and mission tactics learnable
Super Mario Maker 2
level routes and tricks solvable
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.
