head to head
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A lush open-world shooter about exploring Pandora more than testing skill.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A cinematic open-world western leaning on shooting feel and atmosphere.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Red Dead Redemption 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Red Dead Redemption 2 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.

Bow and gun combat with modest aim demands.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Gunplay and Dead Eye reward aim and timing.
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
RDA enemies fully scripted.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Enemies use scripted AI patterns, not adaptation.
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Gear quality and gathering lightly randomized.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Some hunting and weather randomness, lightly hidden.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Cooking, gear, and traversal routes solvable.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Loadouts and routes solvable but loose.
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.
