Enter the MatrixvsThe Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Movie tie-in action game following Niobe and Ghost through bullet-time brawls and chases.
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A co-op brawler testing modest combat execution and straightforward build progression.
Enter the Matrix leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); The Lord of the Rings: War in the North leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5

Enter the Matrix
Bullet-time gunplay and kung-fu combos
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Melee timing and crit windows reward active hands
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Enter the Matrix
Agents and SWAT run fixed scripts
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Orc hordes are scripted spawns, no adaptation
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Enter the Matrix
Encounter placement unknown first run
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Loot drops roll randomly across runs
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Enter the Matrix
Focus meter management and learned level layouts
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Class skill trees and co-op role gearing
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.
