Marbles on StreamvsTomodachi Life
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Marbles on Stream
Variance · Pure Chaos
Tests nothing but luck - a spectator marble race decided entirely by physics RNG.
Tomodachi Life
Variance · Pure Chaos
A toy-like island sim about watching Miis fall in love, feud, and dream nonsense.
Marbles on Stream leans Variance (Pure Chaos); Tomodachi Life leans Variance (Pure Chaos).

Gift logic exists but barely matters
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.
