EverspacevsLovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Everspace
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A roguelike space shooter where dogfighting skill meets procedural runs.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A co-op shoot-em-up where coordinating ship stations and learning enemy patterns determines survival.
Everspace leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Everspace
Enemy ships follow mappable behaviours
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
No adaptive opponent - enemies follow scripted wave patterns
Variance5 vs 4
Everspace leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.

Procedural sectors and loot rolls each run
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Enemy waves and power-up drops introduce meaningful randomness
Optimization6 vs 5

Perk economy and per-run resource routing
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Optimal station rotation and shield positioning are learnable strategies
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.
