head to head
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A gentle Hogwarts exploration checklist with minimal skill demands anywhere.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A relaxed co-op collect-a-thon testing little beyond completionist routing.

Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Spell-casting gestures are deliberately easy
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game
Forgiving brawling and platforming for all ages
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Scripted students and Umbridge plots, no adaptive foe
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game

Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Navigating the castle and task checklist is the game
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game
