Golden LapvsNeighbours from Hell
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
Golden Lap
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A retro motorsport management sim.
Neighbours from Hell
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Sitcom puzzle game about rigging perfect prank chains around a fixed routine.

Golden LapNeighbours from Hell
Axis by axis
Execution3 vs 3
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Golden Lap
light racing-management input, mostly sim
Neighbours from Hell
Timing pranks between patrol windows
Reads1 vs 0
Golden Lap leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Golden Lap
AI rivals follow fixed racing logic
Neighbours from Hell
The neighbour loops a fixed routine
Variance3 vs 2
Golden Lap leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Golden Lap
race incident and weather randomness
Neighbours from Hell
Routine unknown on first attempt, then converges
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Sequencing pranks for maximum combo rating
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.
