Oddworld: Abe's OddyseevsUnravel Two
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A cinematic puzzle platformer about sneaking a hapless Mudokon past guards while rescuing his coworkers.
Unravel Two
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A co-op yarn puzzle-platformer where two tethered characters solve levels together.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Unravel Two leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Precise platforming and stealth timing kill instantly
Unravel Two
Light platforming plus two-character swing coordination
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Sligs patrol on fixed scripts
Unravel Two
No adaptive opposition, co-op only
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Unravel Two
Fixed levels, fully visible
Optimization7 vs 6
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Mudokon rescue routes and puzzle solutions are solvable
Unravel Two
Puzzles solved by routing two yarn characters together
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.
