Orwell: Ignorance is StrengthvsTotally Accurate Battle Simulator
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Sifting hidden documents and deducing which evidence shapes the scripted story.
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A physics sandbox where you place wobbly armies and watch ragdoll battles resolve themselves.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos); Totally Accurate Battle Simulator leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 1
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Reading documents and dragging datachunks needs no dexterity
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Place units then watch; no hands required
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Characters follow scripted branches, not adaptive minds
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
No adaptive opponent in campaign sandbox
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
The story is hidden information you gradually surface
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Wobbly physics makes identical setups resolve differently
Optimization6 vs 7
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Orwell: Ignorance is Strength
Choosing which evidence to upload is a solvable deduction puzzle
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator
Unit counters and placement solve each scenario
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.
