Building comparison
head to head
Deep Rock Galactic: SurvivorvsDiablo IV
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A mining-themed survivor roguelite where picking weapon upgrade synergies to outlast escalating bug swarms decides runs.
Diablo IV
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
An ARPG loot grind about chasing affix rolls to feed a damage-stack build.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos); Diablo IV leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Diablo IV
Enemies and bosses are scripted; no adaptive opponent.

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
Weapon and upgrade pool randomness shapes available build paths per run
Diablo IV
Loot rolls, affixes, and uniques drive every session.
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
Upgrade synergy selection and weapon combination planning is the main skill axis
Diablo IV
Paragon, aspects, and damage buckets are solvable theorycraft.
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.
