Not kidding.

Sekiro

Nioh

Sekiro

Bloodborne

Kingdom hearts 2 on critical difficulty

The devil may cry series on the hardest difficulty (you do have to play through all of the other difficulties to unlock it though.

Any Uncharted game on Brutal Crushing.

Edit: Fair point, u/CoolFiverIsABabe

Bloodborne, Sekiro , Devil May Cry 5, Valfaris, Strider, Sundered, Nex Machina, Ruiner, Enter the Gungeon, Hollow Knight, Nioh , Dead Cells

Cuphead for me. That game broke me

Everyone will say the Souls series, but I think a game like Cuphead is more difficult

Sekiro. Aeterna Noctis is supposed to come out on PS4 soon, it's only on new gen consoles and PC for now

Nioh, Nioh 2, Sekiro, Ninja Gaiden Master Collection

Hollow Knight 5th pantheon in Godhome

I like the "Modular" difficulty on P4G's "Very Hard." I wish that Atlus would apply that "Modular" difficulty to their SMT games (toggling xp, and Macca % returns.) Maybe they don't do that because of achievements/trophies?

Strange Journey is it.

The rest is in the easy category, but Vengeance's endgame bosses are worth the trip.

I played 3-5. SMTV on Hard was fun, probably the most creative I've gotten. SMT3 on Normal is way too easy, so don't play it on Normal unless you wanna chill

IV A on Conflict was the sweet spot for me.

DS Strange Journey, Digital Devil Saga 2, and OG Persona 5 on hard, for me. 

With strange journey being the winner, loved it to bits. In general, Id even recommend it over the remake, I like it's progression, the app equip system that the remake ditched, and I personally prefer the simpler story of the og. without the extra dungeon that sorta messes with the difficulty curve. 

And it's interesting, SMT IV I didn't like at all when it comes to difficulty it's front loaded as all hell, but every boss went down in two tries max, and most of them didn't really stick out in my memory, everything after Medusa feels like a blur.

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.

Well done! I’ve never heard of this game but I might have to give it a try. The style looks cool.

What about other difficult games though?

I hate how ppl think you beat one souls game you beat them all when if you play elden ring than go to siekro they are completely different siekro you have to be able to perfect parry and elden ring you can go the whole game without doing 1 parry there's also no attributes you can scale no magic they are both very challenging in entirely dif ways I will say I'm new to souls game I never played 1 or wanted to my whole life I just liked games like God of war uncharted watch dogs spiderman and was curious one day and I will say these games are leagues ahead of other even wolfinstien feels easy compared to these games I love the fact they push you to actually get good look at things in very creative ways to get past you can't just mash buttons but you have to know what your doing and really think carefully about it but some games are similar and so e are very dif I think it's crazy when ppl talk about the hardest games made you see things listed like puzzle games and Zelda ect from software has got to be the hardest games made in a sense of real console games you can play chess or puzzle games on a computer or a phone it's hard to consider them video games yo me esp with simulation games out there they are all kinda in the same category I believe souls games have bring a very difficult but enjoyable format and me personally have never been so challenged by games before without getting mad I remember when I first started playing Elder ring and I died all the time I would just laugh at how f****** crazy it was because of how difficult it was it was just insane to me and didn't even seem real then I actually got really good after hours and hours and hours of not giving up never had a game push me like that before and it's cool to actually get good at these games it feels like it's stimulates different parts of your brain as far as using patterns and creativity they should definitely be at the top of the hardest but most enjoyable games ever made and that's from someone that has always hated Soul games until like 3 months ago

Personally it would have to be Seiko as it's the only one I couldn't finish. The final boss just needed more reflexes than I have and doesn't really allow for you to try it in your own way like the other souls style games.

If you can beat one SoulsBorne you can beat any of them.

chaterine full body. the platinum its extremely hard

No last of us isnt considered hard. Maybe tedious but nor hard

So pretty much don't die and finish the game in one run. Geez, that's insane.

Last of us is easy just takes a bit becuase of multiplayer

I've put away AC Black Flag, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear V for this exact reason. Anyone done these multiplayer ones? I hate the idea of boosting and grinding them without the intended challenge.

Competition is nothing like it was. All the good people and guilds quit because there was no challenge. My guild was the number one PS4 guild for years. I think I had over 100 million AP across the different factions.

Yes, that’s hard. But if you can get into a good, coordinated guild, it’s not THAT hard.

(The fishing trophy is much more challenging/tedious.)

The NBA 2k games are nearly impossible to platinum. It's a ridiculous amount of grind. I remember reading that you would need over 3000 hours to platinum 2k19, and that's if rng favored you.

Super Meat Boy is generally considered the hardest if not one of the hardest to platinum

I literally just beat the game.. I started on the second highest difficulty, and by the end had to lower it to easiest. I was still getting my ass handed to me!

Dark Souls 1, 2 ,3, Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, Sekiro.

Furi and Enter the Gungeon

Sekiro

You will definitely never get to the end of ET

Devil May Cry on harder difficulties, DMC1 and 3 are also pretty tough on standard difficulty.

Nicely done! 🙌

God of War. I died so many times at the beginning of the game more than in any Souls-game. It was still hard as hell even when I got better armor and unlocked some powerful attacks but I don't regret finishing that game on the hardest mode.

You ever thought about Devil May Cry 5?

That series is all about unlocking increasingly hard difficulties until you die in one hit. On top of that you can try to SSS everything and the 100 level dungeon.

Having played all three. Nioh is hardest and more rewarding. Have fun

Sekiro

Tons of soulsbourne hours under my belt. Sekiro is in my opinion the most difficult, but it is very methodical. It is definitely more difficult than MHW. Many, many players simply cannot complete the game. The final boss in sekiro is probably the most challenging encounter I’ve ever faced in a video game.

It’s gorgeous though, has rich lore, and some of the most satisfying and fluid combat mechanically ever in a game. Very cool game if you’re up to the challenge.

I also really enjoyed nioh but it is not near sekiro level of difficulty at all. Nioh has “artificial difficulty,” where your gear and item choice often allow you to brute force your way through encounters. It does have some true challenges like the double and triple boss fights (2 and 3v1), and a lot of endurance style battles. Both are very hard and very frustrating. But with some stupid OP one shot spirit builds you can face roll your way through the game

Also bloodborne is still a phenomenal choice. It is absolutely not too late to play that game or dark souls 3! They both have very good graphics and gameplay.
