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

Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 5
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fuser
On-beat disc drops and quick transitions
NieR
combat timing and dodges matter
Reads1 vs 0
Fuser leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Fuser
Crowd requests aren't adaptive opposition
NieR
scripted enemies, no adaptation
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fuser
Random crowd requests shuffle priorities
NieR
loot and encounter randomness
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fuser
Key/tempo matching and setlist planning are learnable
NieR
builds and side systems solvable
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.
