Rambo IIIvsYoku's Island Express
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Rambo III
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Retro run-and-gun reflexes over memorised level layouts and item routes.
Yoku's Island Express
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A pinball-platformer hybrid where flippers fling a mail-delivering beetle across an open island.
Rambo III leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Yoku's Island Express leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Yoku's Island Express

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.
