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

Unheard
Just scrubbing a timeline and listening

No adaptive opponent in campaign sandbox
Unheard
No opponent, recorded voices only
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Identities are hidden until audio clues connect
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Cross-referencing fixed conversations solves each case
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.
