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

Fable Anniversary
Forgiving combat across melee, ranged and magic
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Guard layouts surprise on first infiltration
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Alignment, build and economy choices are the systems layer
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Puzzle shrines and stealth route planning
