Building comparison
head to head
AnthemvsDave the Diver
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Anthem
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A co-op looter shooter about flying exosuit javelins through a hostile alien frontier.
Dave the Diver
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Day-job hybrid of relaxed spearfishing dives and nightly sushi-bar management.
Anthem leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Dave the Diver leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Dave the Diver
harpoon aiming and sushi-service minigames

Enemy AI is scripted
Dave the Diver

restaurant economy and gear upgrades drive progress
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.
