2011's Dark Souls was the prime example of a hard game (in my opinion)👍🏻👍🏻

22:27 now I feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment because I got every achievement before Christmas last year

2020 Crash Bandicoot 4

Black myth wukong and sekrio gotta be my favorite ones peaked  some of these gameplays be amazing and stressfully great

Check your thumbnail, because you have Hollow Knight: Silksong for 2026 even though that game actually came out in 2025. (Also, your title says this video is going up to 2025 anyway.)

"Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp" should have won most difficult in 2008.

God hand is so underrated

F zero gx is one of the only games i had to put down.

2001 : As one of the few who enjoyed that game, I would say it wasn't that hard but it was tough and a bit random at harder difficulties.
2019 : Left Alive is harder just by the sheer amount of bad gameplay/bugs/bad mechanics but it's more of a psychological fight than a video game at that point.

Nine Sols in 2024 is harder than Black Myth Wukong

I love and completed 100% f zero gx . BUT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS HARD AS IKARUGA

Was not expecting gd lol

Where is Blasphemous?

Desperately want bloodborne and dark souls remake 😢

Devil May Cry 3 came out in 2005, not 2003 like your thumbnail says

Yes the souls games are hard but there’s always ways to cheese shit in them. You can also overlevel or find other ways to get OP
