Mutant Year Zero: Road to EdenvsPokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Enemies patrol fixed routes; no adaptive opponent modeling
Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!
trainer battles are scripted, minor human PvP

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
Stalker trait loadouts and pre-combat positioning are tight optimization puzzles
Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!
team building and type matchups solvable
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.
