head to head
Neither is simply harder - they are hard in different places. Battle Garegga demands more optimization; Grand Theft Auto V demands more reads.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Raizing's cult shmup where managing the hidden difficulty rank matters as much as dodging.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Sandbox crime playground spanning shooting, driving, and a persistent online economy.
Battle Garegga leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Grand Theft Auto V leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Battle Garegga leans clearly harder on execution.
Battle Garegga
Dense bullets and tiny hitboxes demand elite dodging.
Grand Theft Auto V
Driving and shooting demand decent inputs.
Grand Theft Auto V leans clearly harder on reads.
Battle Garegga
Enemies are scripted; rank reacts to inputs, not strategy.
Grand Theft Auto V
Online PvP exists but mostly gear/positioning, not modeling.
Grand Theft Auto V leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Battle Garegga
Stages are fixed once rank is controlled.
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.
Battle Garegga leans clearly harder on optimization.
Battle Garegga
Infamous rank-management system makes suicides and restraint deeply solvable strategy.
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
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.
