Dying LightvsGhost of Yōtei
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
First-person parkour against zombies, especially terrifying after dark.
Ghost of Yōtei
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Sucker Punch's follow-up to Tsushima, a revenge tale set around Mount Yōtei in 1603 Ezo.
Dying Light leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Ghost of Yōtei leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Dying Light
Parkour traversal and melee timing demanding.
Ghost of Yōtei
Weapon-swap duels and parry timing remain the core test
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Dying Light leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Dying Light

Ghost of Yōtei
Mostly deterministic encounters

Ghost of Yōtei
Weapon matchups and build choices reward system play
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.
