Head to head
Which one will break you first?
Two fingerprints on one grid. Both are scored through your profile, so this answers the question for you rather than for the average player.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is the harder of the two for you, by 3.6 points. The gap is widest on strategy, where Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition asks considerably more than Super Mario Odyssey. If you want the gentler run, start with Super Mario Odyssey.
Axis by axis, biggest gap first
SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY
The main path is generous and the last stretch of Moons is not — the hard version of this game is entirely opt-in and clearly signposted.

AGE OF EMPIRES II: DEFINITIVE EDITION
Build orders are the curve, and the campaigns teach almost none of what the game actually asks for. The hard AI does not forget its economy while it fights.
Sustained pressure. Progress is earned.
