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

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A melancholic metroidvania where scripted boss patterns punish imprecise dodges.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A test of 3D movement control with a deep routing layer underneath.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Super Mario 64 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights
Dodge timing against punishing boss patterns
Super Mario 64
Perfect analog inputs trivialise precise jumps, dives and wall-kicks
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights
Bosses are scripted, not adaptive
Super Mario 64
Solo platformer - no adaptive opponent anywhere
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights
Encounters fully fixed
Super Mario 64
Star locations and level layouts are fixed once seen
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights
Spirit loadouts, upgrades, and pattern learning
Super Mario 64
Star routing and movement tech form a deep solvable layer
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.
