2D melee spacing, throws and weapon durability demand active hands
Venture
Dodging and shooting in tight rooms needs reflexes

Gods and guards run scripted patterns, briefly tricky multiplayer aside
Venture
Monsters follow scripts, not adaptive prediction
Variance2 vs 3
Venture leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Apotheon
Loot and patrols vary slightly between runs
Venture
Enemy movement adds minor unpredictability
Optimization5 vs 5

Apotheon
Boss approaches and gear choice reward planning
Venture
Learning room layouts and the invincible-chaser timing rewards play
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.
