Star Fox GuardvsSuperHot
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.

Solving camera placement puzzles, then executing the watch-and-shoot plan under time pressure.
SuperHot
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
FPS scenarios converted into solvable sequencing puzzles by stopped time.
Star Fox Guard leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); SuperHot leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).
Star Fox GuardSuperHot
Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Fox Guard
Snapping between camera feeds to shoot robots needs quick hands
SuperHot
Time-stops-when-you-stop removes most twitch pressure
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Fox Guard
Robot waves follow fixed scripted routes, nothing adapts
SuperHot
Red guys follow spawn scripts, not minds
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Fox Guard
Wave compositions are unknown on first attempts only
SuperHot
Spawn order is unknown on a first attempt only
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Fox Guard
Camera placement and wave memorisation solve each map
SuperHot
Each level is a solvable movement-and-kill-order puzzle
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.
