head to head
F.E.A.R. 2: Project OriginvsSuper Mario Odyssey
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Sequel continuing the Alma horror story with mech sequences and slow-motion combat.
Super Mario Odyssey
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A 3D platformer whose joy lives in tight movement and capture-driven traversal.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario Odyssey leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

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.
