Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith LordsvsWarhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
A broken-system RPG where influence manipulation and prestige class chaining produce dominant power spikes.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Racing to secure relics and optimize unit upgrade chains in a hostile hex-grid wargame.

Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Pseudo-turn-based d20 system makes twitch irrelevant throughout
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War
Hex turn-based; no physical precision ceiling
Reads1 vs 2

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Influence thresholds and hidden stat distributions create first-play unknowns
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War
Random relic placement and event spawns add meaningful hidden unknowns
Optimization9 vs 9
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Prestige class chaining and influence-stat transfer create near-broken optimization ceilings
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War
Unit upgrade routing and resource building sequencing are deeply 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.
