Lovers in a Dangerous SpacetimevsPGA Tour 2K23
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
No adaptive opponent - enemies follow scripted wave patterns
PGA Tour 2K23
No adaptive human opponent in the loop during shots
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Enemy waves and power-up drops introduce meaningful randomness
PGA Tour 2K23
Wind, lie conditions, and green break add hidden randomness
Optimization5 vs 6
PGA Tour 2K23 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
