A follow up to my other thread https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/248539/how-important-is-difficulty-to-you-in-games/ about how important difficulty is I want to share and hopefully find games that are so fun they outweigh their extreme difficulty or punishment.
Examples:
- Nioh 2 - It overcomes it's insanely punishing experience where death is just a step, mistake or lack of attention away. Easily the most punishing soulsborne like.
- Brotato - It's incredibly hard to clear a run in this game and even though I have yet to do so I'm still hooked at 5 hours in.
- Furi - A boss rush game that is not only difficult but the fights are so long failing comes as a real punch in the gut.
- Monster Hunter End game - these games get ridiculously difficult to solo at end game Master Ranks but always bring the dopamine juice to keep the controller in your hand.
- Ff14 Endgame Savage Raids - Very precise team focused gameplay that takes everyone to be on top of very intricate mechanics. If you PUG, these can turn into tasks that take days to complete.
- The Witcher 3 Death March difficulty - Allows for all the games mechanics to come into play with a need to engage with the game more deeply to overcome the challenge.
- Sekiro - The first playthrough at least, takes a lot of patience and will do get in the groove with this game but never fails to loose it's hook right up to NG+7
I'd like to hear more examples if you have any, this is the type of game I want to be playing at the moment.
