head to head
Black DesertvsDestiny 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
An MMO where grinding out solvable gear-enhancement systems dominates over its action combat.
Destiny 2
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
A looter shooter where build optimization gates raid and seasonal content.
Black Desert leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Destiny 2 leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Black Desert
combo-based combat needs real precision
Destiny 2
Gunplay matters but raids forgive mechanics.
Reads3 vs 2
Black Desert leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Black Desert
PvP siege battles reward reading opponents
Destiny 2
PvE is scripted; Crucible has light adaptation.
Variance4 vs 5
Destiny 2 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Black Desert
gear enhancement is heavily randomized
Destiny 2
Loot drops and rolls drive the chase.
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Black Desert
grinding routes and builds are solvable
Destiny 2
Build crafting, mods, and damage rotations dominate.
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.
