Indiana Jones and the Fate of AtlantisvsLoom
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Musical spell sequences require accurate note input under light pressure
Reads0 vs 0

Learning and combining distaff spells in the correct order is a fully solvable logic system
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.
