LimbovsMoss
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Limbo
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A monochrome puzzle-platformer about a boy lost in limbo.
Moss
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
VR storybook adventure where you guide and assist a tiny sword-wielding mouse.
Limbo leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Moss leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Limbo leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Limbo
Tight platforming with trial-and-error.
Moss
Light VR combat and platforming for Quill
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Limbo
Hazards are scripted.
Moss
Enemies are simple scripts
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Limbo
No randomness.
Moss
Authored linear adventure
Optimization5 vs 6
Moss leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Limbo
Puzzles have fixed solutions.
Moss
Environment-manipulation puzzles with set solutions
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.
