Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Destiny
RNG loot drops famously gate progression.
Dune: Awakening
Resource node spawns and sandstorm timing create meaningful hidden variance
Optimization6 vs 7
Dune: Awakening leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Loadout meta and raid routes are solvable systems.
Dune: Awakening
Base building, crafting chains, and ornithopter routes are solvable
