Raid over MoscowvsSteep
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Raid over Moscow
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A multi-stage 8-bit action gauntlet testing joystick precision over memorised sequences.
Steep
Execution · Pure Mechanics
An open-world extreme sports game about carving ski, snowboard, and wingsuit lines down the Alps.
Raid over Moscow leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Steep leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Raid over MoscowSteep
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.
Raid over Moscow
Joystick precision across flying, shooting and dodging sequences
Steep
Landing tricks and threading lines at speed is hands-first
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Raid over Moscow
Defences follow fixed attack scripts
Steep
The mountain never adapts to you
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Raid over Moscow
Minor timing randomness in enemy fire
Steep
Fixed terrain, deterministic physics
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
