Best Hardest Games on Xbox

TL;DR

  • Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is frequently mentioned as one of the hardest games due to its skill-based combat [1:1], [4].
  • Ninja Gaiden series, especially Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja difficulty, is known for its challenging gameplay [5:5].
  • Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran difficulty is notoriously difficult due to grenade spam [2].

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro stands out as a particularly challenging game among FromSoftware's titles. Unlike other Soulsborne games, Sekiro does not allow players to farm or explore to gain strength, making boss fights true tests of skill [4]. Many players have experienced rage quits and intense frustration but also found satisfaction in mastering the game's mechanics [1:1][1:2]. The lightning parry mechanic is noted for providing a significant dopamine rush when executed successfully [1:5].

Ninja Gaiden Series

The Ninja Gaiden series, particularly Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja difficulty, is well-known for its punishing gameplay. Players have described it as infuriatingly difficult, with Alma being a notoriously tough boss [4:3][4:7]. The game requires precise timing and strategy, severely punishing mindless hacking and slashing [4:9]. Despite its difficulty, many players find it rewarding and continue to recommend it for those seeking a challenge [5:5].

Call of Duty: World at War

Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran difficulty is another game that has been highlighted for its extreme difficulty. Players have expressed frustration over the relentless grenade spam, which makes completing levels a daunting task [2]. Achievements like "Mile High Club" are particularly challenging and require persistence to unlock [2:3].

Other Notable Mentions

Several other games were mentioned across discussions, including The Impossible Game, a rhythm-based endless runner that challenges players' timing skills [1:6], and Hollow Knight, praised for its challenging combat and exploration [3:1]. Additionally, action games such as God Hand and Metal Gear Rising offer difficult modes that test players' abilities [5:3].

For those looking for a character action game, Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix on Critical difficulty is recommended for its engaging combat mechanics [5:7].

ORIGINAL POST

I thought I'd seen it all with games like Getting Over It and Jump King, but I just stumbled upon a game called Level Devil. This thing is on another level of frustration!

It has that same simple-but-cruel design where one tiny mistake sends you back to the start. I must have spent an hour just on the second obstacle...

It got me thinking: what's the most difficult, controller-throwingly hard game you've ever played? I need more recommendations to test my patience (or lack of it).

Bonus Question: Do you enjoy this masochistic type of gaming, or do you think it's just pure frustration? Link the game

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.

What is the hardest game you have ever played? How far did you get?

Posted by BuueSports · in r/gaming · 2 years ago

I've always enjoyed hard games. I love that feeling of initially fighting a boss and getting steamrolled, then building up a strategy through further attempts and then finally conquering them. The experience itself is fun and it's a great feeling to look back and see how far you've come.

For me it was the FromSoftware games (Soulsborne, Elden Ring and Sekiro).

Sekiro in particular stands out - there's no real way to farm/explore and become significantly stronger. So the bosses felt like a true skill-check. Isshin was a particularly difficult fight. I did finish the game, but it did feel quite a lot more difficult than the others for the first playthrough.

Action games that are most fun on the hardest difficulty?

Posted by AXBAXMIT · in r/CharacterActionGames · 1 month ago

I’m looking to play through a character action game at the hardest difficulty, so what was a game you enjoyed on ‘normal’ but loved once you got into the harder options?

I’m leaning towards Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja, tho I’ll admit I’m a bit intimidated by that one, one of the Bayonettas, or Metal Gear Rising.

Conversely, what were some that were broken once you cranked up the difficulty?

All recommendations welcome except DMC 3, I’ve done it already.

Thanks!

Basically all of Kamiya's action games. So DMC1, Viewtiful Joe 1, Bayo 1 and The Wonderful 101.

Magenta Horizon also qualifies.

I wish I didn't have to say this but so far I find God Hand quite a bit broken on Hard Mode. Same with the Ninja Gaiden games on Master Ninja, Bayo 2's Infinite Climax and the GoW games.

I'm not the biggest fan of DMC3,4&5's DMD but I wouldn't call them broken either. Same with MGR's Revengeance difficulty. They're just not the most fun way to play their respective games.

What do you mean by broken ? I didnt play those on hard yet (God Hand and Ninja Gaiden). I am interested in you opinion.

Mission_Piccolo_2515 · 1 month ago

Now, I don't have the most enlightened opinion on the NG games but in my experience they suffer from the typical "diminishing returns" issues higher difficulties tend be guilty of in these kinds of games. That is where the amounts of mechanical nuances you have to learn to adapt to a new difficulty level isn't worth how comparatively constrictive the gameplay loop becomes as a result. NG isn't exactly know for the tightest enemy implementation in the business (especially the bosses) and Master Ninja is these games tend to mostly make the bosses longer, attacks that lack telegraphs more frequent, less manipulable enemies more present (i.e. the black crab placement in NGB's MN) and the secret encounters (Ambushes, Tests of Valors) insufferably long when they already overstayed their welcome in normal difficulty.

God Hand fairs a little bit better on all of the previous points mentioned but the sheer fact that enemies can attack from of-screen coupled with the camera angle from that game makes it a devious proposition in it's own league. Arguably the hardest thing I've been confronted to in my CAG experience. I intend to persevere on this one because I also think this game is worthy of the "best move-set in any combat system" award but yeah, I'm not sure I'm on board with everything it throws at me either, especially since in was only made in 12 months.

I think every game shines and designed around having the most fun on hardest difficulty (that is not gimmick like Hell and Hell in DMCs). But I really recommend trying out GoW 1-3 on Very Hard, this is where the games' combat philosophy is on max. Your collision damage on VH in 1 and 2 are at max, making throwing, using knockback, orion harpoons, grabs and collisions your best tools for efficient and fun playstyle

Although you can activate the zero exp abillty and do a level 1 run. You could say that is the true highest dificulty. I have not tried it myself but from what I heard level 1 runs are not uncommen in the KH Fandom.

I think mine would have to be Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus on “I am death incarnate”, which is the hardest difficulty. After you complete the game on that difficulty you unlock a permadeath mode. I didn’t even attempt permadeath though, F that.

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.

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.

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.

Wo long? I couldn’t get past the first tiger thing and just deleted it. Found it way too difficult especially while I’m stoned. Funny though, cause I don’t have any issues playing elden ring. Wo long just seems way harder

I beat Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on Jedi Master difficulty stoned half the time and couldn’t even get past the first few goons on Wo Long. Couldn’t imagine taking on a boss lmao.

Personally found Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty such a thrill. No difficultly setting. It’s a souls-like game similar to Sekiro and some elements from Nioh series.

I picked up crusader kings and had absolutely no idea how to play the game. It is confusing, has a million different options to understand. But I’ve heard it’s a great game. Not sure if that is what you’re looking for haha.

It's a brilliant game and it's honestly not that confusing if you do the tutorial. It's a bit overwhelming at first though because of the many many ways you can play.

I think some of the ninja gaiden games are on there, they are pretty solid.

Wo Long Dynasty for sure. I also think Far Cry 5 has some story missions that can be pretty tough but as a whole it’s a pretty straight forward game. If you have EA Play the F1 games can be adjusted from slow as a Turtle to nearly unbeatable unless you’re just a driving God.

Key Considerations for the Hardest Games on Xbox:

  1. Gameplay Mechanics: Look for games that have complex mechanics, requiring precise timing and skill to master.

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

  3. Community Consensus: Check forums and gaming communities for discussions on challenging games, as player experiences can provide valuable insights.

  4. Replayability: Many hard games encourage multiple playthroughs, either through permadeath, challenging achievements, or intricate level designs.

Top Recommendations:

  1. Dark Souls Series: Known for its punishing difficulty, intricate level design, and deep lore. Players face tough enemies and bosses that require strategy and patience.

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

  3. Cuphead: A run-and-gun game with a unique art style, it features challenging boss battles that require quick reflexes and pattern recognition.

  4. Ninja Gaiden Series: Renowned for its fast-paced combat and challenging enemies, it demands precision and mastery of the game's mechanics.

  5. Bloodborne: Similar to Dark Souls but with a faster pace and a gothic horror theme, it offers a challenging experience with its aggressive enemies and intricate world design.

Takeaway: If you're looking for a true test of skill and patience, any of these titles will provide a challenging experience. Be prepared for frustration, but also for the satisfaction that comes from overcoming tough obstacles!
