Rocket LeaguevsWreckfest
Neither is simply harder - they are hard in different places. Rocket League demands more execution; Wreckfest demands more variance.
Rocket League
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Mechanical car-soccer where execution is the ceiling.
Wreckfest
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Demolition derby racer with destructible PvP chaos.
Rocket League leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Wreckfest leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

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.
