Castle CrashersDestiny
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 7
Destiny leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Castle Crashers
Combo execution and crowd-control timing are the performance ceiling
Destiny
FPS gunplay and raid mechanics demand real aim.
Reads3 vs 3
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Castle Crashers
PvP arenas add light human-opponent reads
Destiny
Crucible PvP adds genuine human prediction.
Variance2 vs 4
Destiny leans clearly harder on variance.
Castle Crashers
Enemy spawns follow scripted patterns with minimal randomness
Destiny
RNG loot drops famously gate progression.
Optimization5 vs 6
Destiny leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Levelling investment, magic loadout, and pet choice are optimisable
Destiny
Loadout meta and raid routes are solvable systems.
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.
