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

Optimization · Pure Optimization
A historical worker-placement economy testing allocation efficiency against event risk.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Comic hospital tycoon optimized by room layouts and staffing.

Two Point Hospital leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Predynastic Egypt
Turn-based worker placement has no physical layer
Two Point Hospital
no reflex
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Predynastic Egypt
Event rolls and exploration outcomes inject managed risk
Two Point Hospital
patient illness mix
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Predynastic Egypt
Worker allocation and tech ordering is a solvable economy
Two Point Hospital
room layouts, staffing, training
