head to head
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
An open-world superhero game where fluid combat and traversal skill drive the fun.

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
combat combos and traversal need precision
Sonic Advance

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
scripted enemy AI, no adaptation
Sonic Advance
All scripted opposition
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
minor loot and encounter variance
Sonic Advance
Special spring spots hidden at first
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered

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.
