Enter the GungeonvsEverspace
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Enter the Gungeon
Bosses use fixed bullet patterns; no adaptation.
Everspace
Enemy ships follow mappable behaviours
Variance5 vs 5
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Enter the Gungeon
Gun and item drops heavily randomized.
Everspace
Procedural sectors and loot rolls each run
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Enter the Gungeon
Synergy hunting and shop routing shape strong runs.
Everspace
Perk economy and per-run resource routing
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.
