head to head
Ori and the Blind ForestvsSpider-Man
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Spider-Man
Execution · Practiced Mastery

Ori and the Blind Forest
Scripted enemies, no adaptive opponent
Spider-Man
Villains repeat fixed boss patterns
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
Spider-Man
Level events are scripted and quickly known
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ori and the Blind Forest
Ability routing and shard builds matter
Spider-Man
Boss patterns and level routes are fully learnable
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.
