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

An open-world chaos sandbox adding tornado weather to grappling-hook anarchy.

Tests casual open-world chaos appetite more than any skill axis.
Just Cause 4 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Saints Row leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Just Cause 4
Wingsuit and customised tether handling
Saints Row
Forgiving shooting and driving demand little precision
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Just Cause 4
Enemy AI is static
Saints Row
Gang AI runs simple fixed scripts
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Just Cause 4
Weather fronts shake encounters up slightly
Saints Row
Open-world events vary mildly between sessions
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Just Cause 4
Frontline progression and loadout tinkering
Saints Row
Perks, weapons and venture economy reward light planning
