Building comparison
head to head
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost ColonyvsSuper Mario Odyssey
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Co-op bullet-hell shooter set in a 17th-century British colonial Mars.
Super Mario Odyssey
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A 3D platformer whose joy lives in tight movement and capture-driven traversal.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario Odyssey leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 8
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
Bullet-dodging precision at high difficulty
Super Mario Odyssey
Precise platforming and capture-move tech ceiling.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
Bullet patterns are fully scripted
Super Mario Odyssey
No adaptive opponents whatsoever.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
Deterministic waves every run
Super Mario Odyssey
Almost no randomness in level design.
Optimization6 vs 5
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
Vaunt-chaining score systems and route memorization
Super Mario Odyssey
Moon routes and movement tech learnable.
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.
