Half-Life: SourcevsJak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Aim and movement through a fully scripted campaign that route knowledge solves.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Seamless 3D platformer about collecting power cells across a precursor world.
Half-Life: Source leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Precise jumping and combo movement

Marines and aliens run impressive but fixed scripts
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Lurkers follow set patterns

Half-Life: Source

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Static seamless world

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.
