Building comparison
head to head
New World: AeternumvsOvercooked 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
An action MMO where manual aim and dodge skill matter as much as build planning in both PvE and PvP.
Overcooked 2
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A frantic co-op cooking game where execution speed, partner reads, and optimal kitchen routing determine your score.
New World: Aeternum leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Overcooked 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

New World: Aeternum
Open-world PvP wars and outpost rush involve adaptive opponents

Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
New World: Aeternum
Gear drops add variance but crafting reduces reliance on RNG
Overcooked 2
Level hazards and order queues introduce random variation
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Weapon mastery and territory control strategies are systematically solvable
Overcooked 2
Optimal kitchen routing and task assignment is learnable per level
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.
