Secret Files: Tunguska
Secret Files: Puritas Cordis
Neither is very difficult, except for the occasional "moon logic" puzzle where you do something amazingly simple in an incredibly convoluted way. No need for in-game hints (that both games have anyway) since both games feature relatively barren screens so you can easily brute force those sections. Subverted in one puzzle in Puritas Cordis, where you're loaded in inventory and all inventory combinations work. Luckily it's slightly less ridiculous to figure out than the major stumpers. If Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise is a 1 and Discworld is a 10, both are around four-five.

Gray Matter is quite easy except for one deliberate pixel hunt. A three.

Sorry for lack of timing info, I don't clock myself and I play games on and off.

So you know how to factor my ratings: I would put Grim Fandango at 9, Longest Journey at 6, Full Throttle at 7, and Safecracker (guessing you mean the new one) at 3. So, not sure how you can interpolate anything out of that, we seem to really disagree, probably on the composition of the scale.
