Is the LSAT harder without logic games?

The LSAT without Logic Games isn't necessarily harder or easier overall, but it shifts the challenge: it's harder for those who excelled at games (as they lose a strong point-scorer) and potentially harder for the majority because the two Logical Reasoning (LR) sections test more nuanced verbal skills and have incorporated former game-like elements, demanding greater consistency in complex argument analysis and close reading, unlike games' discrete, learnable skills. LSAC claims the difficulty remains the same, but many test-takers find the new format more challenging due to increased focus on LR subtlety.
