Moon HuntersvsParty Hard
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Moon Hunters
Variance · Systems & Chaos
Short procedural co-op runs where mapping event outcomes outweighs combat skill.
Party Hard
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Isolating targets amid randomised crowds using traps and patience.
Moon Hunters leans Variance (Systems & Chaos); Party Hard leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Execution4 vs 3
Moon Hunters leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Moon Hunters
Light action combat with simple dodge timing
Party Hard
Walking and stabbing need timing but little dexterity
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Moon Hunters
No adaptive opponent in co-op myth-building
Party Hard
Partygoers wander on RNG, not adaptive minds
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Procedural maps and event rolls reshape each short run
Party Hard
Random traps, events and witness behaviour vary each level
Optimization5 vs 6
Party Hard leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Personality builds and event outcomes map over replays
Party Hard
Trap usage and isolation tactics converge to known strategies
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.
