Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Knightmare Tower
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Chaining mid-air kills to climb while an upgrade economy does half the lifting.
Sunset Overdrive
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Day-glo traversal shooter where staying on rails and walls keeps your style and survival up.
Knightmare Tower leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Sunset Overdrive leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Knightmare Tower
Mid-air slash chaining keeps the launch alive - pure reflexes
Sunset Overdrive
Grind-rail momentum and mid-air shooting reward clean hands
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Knightmare Tower
Monsters spawn without any adaptive intent
Sunset Overdrive
Mutant hordes are pattern-driven, never adaptive
Variance3 vs 2
Knightmare Tower leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Knightmare Tower
Monster spawn patterns shuffle each ascent
Sunset Overdrive
Horde mode spawns mix things up slightly
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Knightmare Tower
Upgrade purchase order largely determines how high you climb
Sunset Overdrive
Amp builds, traversal lines, and style multipliers are solvable
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.
