What Redditors are Saying

Best Hardest Games on PC

TL;DR

  • Rust: Known for its brutal survival mechanics and high replayability [3].
  • Nioh Series: Offers challenging combat with a steep learning curve [5:1], [5:2].
  • Nine Sols: Features difficult boss fights and is highly recommended for those who enjoy challenging games [2].
  • Sifu: Initially difficult but rewarding once you master the mechanics [5:9].

Rust

Rust is often cited as one of the hardest games due to its combination of mechanical difficulty and mental challenges. Players must constantly be on edge, as no progress is safe, and solo play can feel like a nightmare [3]. The game requires not only skill but also game sense, paranoia, and luck to survive. Despite its difficulty, Rust is praised for its replayability, as no two wipes are ever the same [3:1].

Nioh Series

The Nioh series, particularly Nioh 2, is known for its challenging combat and steep learning curve. Players often find themselves dying frequently at the start, but mastering the counter timing and mechanics can lead to a satisfying gameplay experience [5:1], [5:2]. While some players argue that the game becomes easier once you learn the mechanics, others still find it to be a significant challenge [5:3].

Nine Sols

Nine Sols is another game recommended for those seeking a challenge. It features a difficult final boss fight and a trophy list that adds to the game's challenge [2]. Although not much detail is provided about the game itself, it is highly praised by players who enjoy difficult games [2:1].

Sifu

Sifu is initially difficult, but players find it rewarding once they master the combos and dodging mechanics [5:9]. The game requires players to learn and adapt to its mechanics, and while it may not be the hardest game out there, it offers a good level of challenge for those looking for something new [5:6].

Other Notable Mentions

  • Metroid Dread: While not universally considered extremely difficult, it does offer a balanced challenge with some tricky bosses [5:8].
  • Hollow Knight: Often recommended for fans of metroidvania-style games looking for a challenge [2:1], [5:11].
  • Jump King and Celeste: Known for their platforming challenges, these games test both skill and patience [1].

These games provide a variety of challenges, from survival and combat to platforming, catering to different preferences for difficulty in gaming.

ORIGINAL POST

This is my first game, integrating the design concepts of the two games that I consider the most difficult, Jumpking and Celeste.

It not only has operational difficulty but also tests one's mindset.

If you want to take on some real challenges, then you've come to the right place.

Adopt a unique downward force jumping mode, which requires both controlling the force and making precise operations in the horizontal direction.

This is a game that's hard to clear by memorizing patterns—it relies on muscle memory and quick reflexes."

Try the web demo on itch

88% of the players give up in the first level. Will you be among that 12%?

Playable Link:https://liangzixiaoqiang.itch.io/hard-jump-demo

You can also find the game on steam

At present, no player has obtained three ending achievements.

If you think the game is too difficult, May be you can recommend it to your friends or your favorite streamer, and then get potato chips and cola ready. Start to enjoy.

From the demo on itchio, it wasnt really hard, i would put celeste harder and jump king way harder. It took me around 10 min to reach the character that tell you "path blocked end of demo"

I would personally like if there was a way to reach the max jumping height faster, cause a lots of the time, you're just waiting on a platform pressing a and a again doing nothing until you have the right height.

The coins have no explanation on them, beside putting them in the atm. What do they do?

2 upvotes on reddit
Worried_Power_2431 · OP · 3 months ago

For the vast majority of jumps, there is no need to push the height to the limit. If you want to pass quickly, you need to control each of your jumps, retain as much kinetic energy as possible, rather than reaching a place and starting to recharge in place again.

[Nine Sols] Top 5 games of all time (imo)

Posted by Ravioli498 · in r/Trophies · 4 months ago

(I didn’t attach the platinum screenshot because it was a black screen)

This game was a masterpiece and the final boss was the hardest fight I think I’ve ever done before. Highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys difficult games, it’s phenomenal. Trophy wise the hardest one was literally just beating the game imo. 9/10 game and a 10/10 trophy list.

I've heard of this game, it's been on my radar for awhile now. Certainly looks fun, congrats on the plat! If you enjoy games with challenging combat, I'd recommend looking into Furi and maybe playing Hollow Knight. Not sure if Nine Sols is a metroidvania-type game, but if it is, then you'll probably enjoy Hollow Knight.

Rust Is the Hardest Game Ever, and I Have 4K Hours to Prove It

Posted by Omoplata-69 · in r/playrust · 5 months ago

I've played 4,000+ hours of Rust, and I still think it's the hardest game out there. Not just mechanically, but mentally.

No progress is safe – You can grind for days and lose it all in minutes.

Solo life is a nightmare – One wrong move, and you're wiped by a zerg.

No true "endgame" – Even when you're stacked, one bad fight or raid defense can reset everything.

Skill isn’t enough – You need game sense, paranoia, and luck to survive.

Even after all these hours, every wipe still feels like starting over from scratch. No other game keeps you on edge like this.

Does anything else even come close to Rust’s level of punishment? Let’s hear it.

I always tell everyone Rust is probably the best game for replayability. No two wipes are ever the same. Would probably play more of it if it wasn't so toxic. Not that I don't enjoy it sometimes, but it does get hard, lol.

If you love Rust, you should try a heroin addiction. It's long hours, lots of going out and trying to take other peoples stuff and gather supplies to pay for upkeep. It's equally as hard as Rust when it comes to holding a normal productive job (because you've got shit to do). Once you're in it and committed nothing else matters, and you freak out when people take your stuff. They're basically the same thing, as told from me with 13k hours and no heroin history.

No game ever makes me have panic attacks like this game haha. As a solo player it’s like a horror game sometimes. Creeping around in the dark trying to get some loot as a solo still gives me anxiety and has my heart pumping out of my chest haha. After 1.5k hours I’m not sure that’s gonna ever change. Absolutely brutal game but that’s why it’s cool.

Yea, I love playing solo. It definitely feels scary as fuck sometimes. You have to redefine success as a solo. Just getting a tier 3 and raiding 1 or 2 small bases to me is a huge win. But I’ve had more heart pounding moments at a solo than when I’m in a group.

We built a site to rank games by difficulty give your advice

Posted by PomeloPatient1290 · in r/IndieGaming · 2 months ago
post image

Hey everyone, I’ve always been fascinated by hard games the ones that truly challenge you and give that insane reward once you finally “get good”.

With a friend, we recently launched something we wished existed: www.difficultyquest.com 🎮

The idea is to let players rate games by how difficult they are — not just in terms of frustration, but based on skill, reflexes, precision, and learning curve. Right now, we’re starting with hard games, because that’s what inspired the project in the first place but the long-term goal is much bigger: to eventually offer a difficulty rating for every game, whether it’s chill or brutal.

It’s ad-free, community-driven, and still fresh so we’d love feedback. Good or bad. Brutal honesty welcome. It’s our first public version.

We’ve also set up a small Discord and a Twitter account. If some of you are interested, I can share the links in the comments. We use them to discuss hard games in general, debate which ones are missing from the list, and follow the evolving rankings. 💬

Out of curiosity: what are your top 3 hardest games ever? I’d love to compare them to what’s already popping up in the rankings.

Thanks a lot for reading 🙂

OleschY · 2 months ago

Getting over it is not a difficult game. It takes you 4-8hours for your first win and each subsequent win is <30 minutes. It's as if Elden Ring decided to put Malenia as the first Boss and give an Endgame build from the start. Would that make Eldenring harder? I totally agree, a site which tries to rate games by difficulty but does not define what "difficult" means (Be it time to finish or possible skill ceiling or amount of grind needed or the steepness of the learning curve or the percentage of people who get a certain defined of progress, etc...) is pretty unimpressive.

You should take a look at https://thinkygames.com/ they did it right, but only for the specific subgenre of thinkygames.

"Claire Obscure" at 0% ? Where would that place "Putt Putt joins the Parade" then?

1 upvotes on reddit
PomeloPatient1290 · OP · 2 months ago

Thanks for the comment! That actually gives me a good opportunity to clarify something. The site shows the hardest game at 100% and the easiest at 0%, but we’ve set a threshold: a game needs enough votes to be officially rated. Since Claire Obscure was just recently added, it hasn’t received enough ratings yet — that’s why it’s still showing 0%.

Metroid Dread isn't challenging, is it? Is that game considered challenging? I've done 3 playthroughs, I absolutely love it. I felt the difficulty was balanced pretty well. Other than getting lost a few times and needing to spend time learning the bosses cadences and patterns, I never really got frustrated or stuck due to its difficulty.

does a game you never got into really count? game is not that difficult if it clicks and you know how to time the dodge. it's kinda like dark souls when you never ever played a game with i-frame dodging.

Sekiro might seem like the most difficult game at first where every enemy kills you easily but once you learn how to deflect it suddenly doesn't seem that bad.

obviously you have to learn the mechanics of a game before even knowing how difficult it actually is.

Can we stop with the "what should be my next hardest" posts

Posted by uGlixie · in r/geometrydash · 4 months ago

I'm genuinely starting to get annoyed at the number of "what should be my next hardest" posts.

It's not hard to find a harder level that you like by using GDDL, AREDL or any other list. Other people don't know your preferences for levels or your skillset.

You should create your own journey not just follow what others say. Imo that is just boring. And from my experience finding a level I enjoy and doing a practice run gives me may more motivation than if someone recommended me that level.

TL;DR: Stop posting about what should be your next hardest and create your own journey.

Most of the time the answers they get from these posts is just the commenters' favorite levels, generic picks, or the special funny fellas that go "TIDAL WAVE!"

The whole reason for why the game is special is YOU pick your journey, YOU build up your own skillset, YOU choose the levels you want to take on. It's okay to ask for suggestions but with hardests especially you should know man...

I've played my fair share of difficult games but struggling to think of which one I'd recommend. I think a lot of difficult games tend to even out once you play them enough... but yeah Bennett Foddy may not be mechanically complex compared to something like Dark Souls but it will test your endurance and patience in ways that few games do.

I successfully did that level in 2p mode playing both controllers myself. I consider it one of my greatest accomplishments.

Hijacking this, getting over it is on the easy-ish side of foddian game, "Pogostuck", "This is hell", "Sklime", "Get tilted :)", "Pushing it with sisyphus", and "Ascending inferno" Are much harder then it as a few good quality example i could give.

If you count this as a comment op, i personally would be interested in This is hell, as its the only one where there is no video of someone clearing it.

Dishonored is one of the greatest of all time, but it's not FPS. OP said he wants FPS

This is the answer if you don't suffer from motion sickness.

If you do, like me, I recommend Driminate. lmao

best hardest game on PC

Key Considerations for the Hardest PC Games:

  1. Game Mechanics: Look for games that have complex mechanics, requiring precise timing and strategy. Games with steep learning curves often fall into this category.

  2. Difficulty Settings: Some games offer multiple difficulty levels, but the hardest games typically have a reputation for being unforgiving even on lower settings.

  3. Community Feedback: Check forums and gaming communities for discussions on difficulty. Games that are frequently mentioned as "hard" often have a strong reputation among players.

  4. Genre: Certain genres, like roguelikes, platformers, and souls-like games, are known for their challenging gameplay.

Top Recommendations:

  1. Dark Souls Series: Known for its punishing difficulty, intricate level design, and deep lore. Players must learn enemy patterns and master combat mechanics.

  2. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: This game emphasizes skillful combat and timing, with a steep learning curve that rewards patience and practice.

  3. Cuphead: A run-and-gun platformer with a unique art style, it features challenging boss battles that require precision and memorization.

  4. Super Meat Boy: A fast-paced platformer that demands quick reflexes and precise movements, with levels designed to test your skills.

  5. The Binding of Isaac: A roguelike dungeon crawler that offers a high level of difficulty with permadeath and randomly generated levels, making each run unique and challenging.

Takeaway: If you're looking for a true test of skill and patience, consider diving into the Dark Souls series or Sekiro. Both games are renowned for their difficulty and will provide a rewarding experience for those who enjoy a challenge.
