Axis by axis

Bloodborne
Aggressive dodges and rally timing demand sharp hands.
Grand Theft Auto V
Driving and shooting demand decent inputs.

Bloodborne
Bosses follow fixed movesets; no model of you.
Grand Theft Auto V
Online PvP exists but mostly gear/positioning, not modeling.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Bloodborne
Chalice dungeon layouts and drops add some randomness.
Grand Theft Auto V
Some mission and lobby randomness.

Bloodborne leans clearly harder on optimization.
Bloodborne
Builds, weapons, and boss patterns are studyable and solvable.
Grand Theft Auto V
Heists, money loops, builds learnable.
