I think you are mixing the tabletop PF game with the PF videogame here.
They have some differences, they have things in common, but they are not the same. The tabletop has more skills, spells, classes, mounted combat, crafting, downtimes etc and the combat and skillchecks are more hard and unforgiving in the game than in most Pathfinder APs.
I supposse BG3 and a D&D 5e game will be different too because they are made for different media.
I have never played PnP, so I can only talk about computer games.
You say that combat and skill check is more difficult in PnP?
I would assume the computer game is more difficult because you can save and load the game.
If your char dies in PnP and nobody else can revieve or the whole party dies because some unlucky dice rolls, then weeks or even month of playing are gone.
