Building comparison
head to head
LEGO Star Wars: The Force AwakensvsSpiritfarer
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A forgiving co-op collect-a-thon that tests completionist routing, not skill ceilings.
Spiritfarer
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A management game about ferrying spirits to the afterlife.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Spiritfarer leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

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.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Blaster battles and platforming stay deliberately forgiving
Spiritfarer
Platforming is light and forgiving.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
First Order enemies are scripted set dressing
Spiritfarer
Spirits follow scripted arcs.
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Multi-build choices are visible options, not hidden information
Spiritfarer
Minor resource RNG.
Optimization4 vs 5
Spiritfarer leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Hundred-percenting collectibles is the only system to solve
Spiritfarer
Boat layout and crafting loops reward planning.
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.
