Building comparison
head to head
Ori and the Blind ForestvsRayman Origins
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
Ori and the Blind Forest
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A precision-platforming metroidvania built around fluid traversal.
Rayman Origins
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A hand-animated revival of Rayman's 2D platforming.
Ori and the Blind Forest leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Rayman Origins leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Reads1 vs 0
Ori and the Blind Forest leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.

Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ori and the Blind Forest
Fixed layouts, minimal randomness
Rayman Origins
Deterministic levels
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Ability routing and shard builds matter
Rayman Origins
Lum routing for perfection
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.
