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

Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Shapez
Placing belts has no time pressure at all
Reads0 vs 0

Sprawling tech trees and grind-route efficiency
Shapez
Designing efficient cutting and merging factories IS the game
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.
