Fantasy Zone: The MazevsSWAT 4
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A maze shoot-em-up testing navigation timing and weapon-shop optimization.
SWAT 4
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A tactical police shooter where careful, methodical tactics against randomized threats defines mastery.
Fantasy Zone: The Maze leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); SWAT 4 leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Maze routing and shop weapon buys drive scores
SWAT 4
tactics and equipment loadouts solvable
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.
