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

Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 4
Borderlands leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Borderlands
Standard FPS aim; numbers matter more than precision
Minecraft Dungeons
Dodge-rolls and kiting through mob swarms
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Borderlands
Bandits and skags are scripted
Minecraft Dungeons
Enemies are scripted hordes
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Borderlands
Procedural loot drops gate your power
Minecraft Dungeons
Random loot and enchantment rolls drive power
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Borderlands
Builds, gear math, and farming routes dominate
Minecraft Dungeons
Gear synergies and enchant builds carry difficulty
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.
