The 15 Hardest MODERN Games (That I've Played!)

[@steven-i6j]

Sekiro is so special because you can become a bad ass once it clicks for you and it kinda becomes easy then but you never forget where you started.

[@Sargatas]

To be honest it is not even that hard to start with. It has the most forgiving parries I've ever seen in games.

[@pandora7242]

​@@Sargatasidk man I played every souls game and I can say Sekiro is easily hardest soul game ever

[@Sargatas]

@@pandora7242 I play parry-oriented games (or with core mechanic of "perfect dodge+counterattack") for the half of my life, so maybe it's just overall experience, but this game was one of the easiest from this category. And I don't even used arm tools properly. Intentionally every boss has to be easily cheesed to oblivion but I wanted to fight at least 30 minutes on average because I liked the bossfights.

[@ZOM6.6.6]

@@Sargatasstop yapping bro it’s hard generally maybe you’re too good

[@Sargatas]

@@ZOM6.6.6 I don't know what's hard in memorizing movesets tbh. 20 minutes - and you know every move already. And during fast combos you don't even need this, because parry spam solves all problems. The only difference from souls games is that you can't bruteforce bosses with spamming charged heavies or being overleveled and that's it. But any person can beat most of bosses in 10 tries if he just analyze his actions and boss' moves. Every man I saw spending 5 hours on a boss in any of these games just don't want to learn anything and making the same mistakes over and over.

[@Jago-pl7op]

I find it funny how Sekiro, Sifu, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne are some of the hardest games I ever played, yet they are the only games I completed 100 percent.

[@patrickswamps]

The difficulty truly helps you emerge you into the experience, you reach a point where you can't get enough of it. That's what happened for me with Cuphead, got all S ranks including DLC and all P ranks, and I'd do it all again, in fact I have

[@Peubescent]

I really want to get into the soulsborne games, I see comments like these but I just don't seem to enjoy it. I bought elden ring, tried 3 starters, defeated godrick as a mage and just stopped, bought dark souls 3 and just stopped early in the game. I don't rage quit I just, stop? I guess. But like 100%ing the soulsborne games to many fans, my favourite difficult game is blasphemous. played the shit out of that

[@Jago-pl7op]

@wadahelboiwadahelboi9408 Oh hell yeah! Blasphemous is awesome

[@royalrandomness777]

[@Attannno]

Did you reaaaally complete sekiro? All the gauntlets?

[@Dain12354]

I would recommend Celeste and hollow knight, as they are both challenging yet incredible indie games.

[@mohammedmamdouh2752]

I fully agreed with that

[@drinkswatere]

I didn’t think hollow knight was that hard till I made it to one specific platforming section. You had to use some dash type move to a wall and jump over the wall through a little slit not touching the ceiling or the top of the wall because there was something that would damage/kill you and you had to do it multiple times. I just game up after hours. I feel like I was pretty close to beating the game but just gave up.

[@brobrothebro]

i love celeste ive played through that game like 4 times lol

[@MrPatrickbuit]

Hollow Knight doesn't really get that bad until you get until the end game. However, going for 112% on Hollow Knight is about as hard as Sekiro. Then doing P5 is definitely harder than Sekiro. P5 with all bindings is harder than anything I've seen in modern games, other than some Celeste bonus levels.

[@boby9140]

The end of both of these games are so good, I was visibally smiling while completing celeste

[@WiiCON-49000]

My brother, Chaosroy, is a Cuphead speedrunner. He does runs of the base game (no DLC) and is currently in 23rd place. Watching him play and flawlessly destroy all the bosses and running stages is a sight to behold.

[@TotallyTubularJonathan]

makes my 12 hour playthrough look like a joke.....

[@WiiCON-49000]

@TotallyTubularJonathan I've never been able to spend enough time with the game to beat it. He loves it though. He's working on adding the DLC to his run, but the DLC final boss is the hardest one of them all

[@panthekirb7561]

@@TotallyTubularJonathan The first playthrough taking 12 hours is nothing to be ashamed about. Bet a second run would take much less time (besides the dragon, the dragon STILL gives me trouble sometimes and I have mastered most of the game)

[@Artydagr8]

I don’t remember if I played this game on ps3 or 4 but I remember trying it after my brother kept saying “even you couldn’t beat it” after I had just beaten most of the dark souls games at the time. It’s called Titan souls. Basically you play as some kid with only 1 weapon, a bow and arrow. But you can shoot this one arrow and it has the ability to come back to you. It’s a game where you get hit once, and you die but then most the bosses (it’s all bosses) have a weak spot you need to hit with said arrow to win. What he said fueled tf outta me and I beat that game but damn it was tough! I definitely recommend it though. The game was super rewarding

[@robdurfee6861]

The developers also made Death’s Door which is a fun game and is challenging too, also there is another top down souls like called Eldest Souls that you may like

[@fulanitx]

This is a nice list. I have honestly quit several games due to it's difficulty. I know I can learn and get better but my main issue is time. I'd rather play 10 average difficulty games than struggle with 1 for months. I'm glad these games.exist for people who like the challenge, but for me, I prefer to enjoy and relax while playing, rather than getting frustrated and upset.

[@turbografx.16]

i dont think its a hard game, the side challenges are really hard (PoP, radiance, etc) but the base game is pretty fair imo

[@JustinAutry]

You should try Lies of P

[@BieberHole69__]

This is honestly the hardest game I’ve ever finished. I had a much easier time with sekiro, ER, BB, etc. I picked the cowards ending just because I couldn’t handle another boss fight that may take me 8 hours to complete

[@BieberHole69__]

And the difficulty spikes. It is perfectly balanced except for *those* boss fights. The endgame bosses were just relentless, but the first half has some of my favorite bosses of any game ever. Well worth it in the end

[@Grimscribe732]

Some games I'd add for your consideration: La Mulana, Spelunky 1&2, FTL, Eldest Souls, Bloody Trapland, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Nioh 2, Lies of P, Devil Daggers, GTFO, Völgarr the Viking

Returnal is the most difficult

[@Andre-vr1ul]

Should try out Enter the Guneon. Beating the Lich and getting the true ending is probably one of the hardest things Ive done in games and I've played a lot of hard games.

[@Sargatas]

Ghostrunner 2 is the perfect sequel. It takes the best parts of the first game and multiplies them. And it's easier then first one due to more tools given to the protagonist. Though for me the hard part of both games started with hardmode. Base game is relatively easy, but hardmode changes levels so significantly that it sometimes becomes a pain in the ass. I have one particular level in each game with 200+ deaths on it and 90% of them were on one particular section. But it's fun😁

Most bosses after that took me 1 or 2 tries, with the biggest exception being the demon of hatred which took me around 1 hour 20 minutes.

One of the hardest games I’ve beat is code vein. It’s a rather great soulslike with insanely aggressive bosses and relentless enemy placement. It feels like it should be co-op, and for the most part the game gives you a follower character that you can choose whether or not to keep at your side. But I recently did a no follower run and the game took me 3 months to beat, the second 2 of which being the post game content and dlcs

I would recommend the new donkey Kong tropical freeze, looks simple but is super challenging

[@RetroGeek94]

I managed to 200% tropical freeze years ago, and man.... it was one of the most satisfying achievements I've had in gaming. Very challenging game for completionists.

[@justforyou4560]

You can cheese some bosses in Sekiro, but yeah we're the same Sekiro is the hardest game I've ever played and I think it will remain that way for a very long time 😊

[@Gabu115]

I love your content tubalar Jonathan! Watch like all the videos. I do wish you wouldn’t put all the picks in the thumbnail, kinda spoils the video for me and makes me click off sometimes cause I know what’s gonna be on the list. Maybe if it just had like 3-4 of the options it could keep the mystery better, just a suggestion, love your content brother will stay tuned

[@madalindragan9569]

I second this! I know this is kind of your thing but in the long run you will win more by keeping the mystery. Listen to us!

Celeste is one of the hardest but most fair games ive ever played. Namely some of the B, some of the C sides and the entirety of Farewell DLC

[@TurkishQuandaledingle.]

Fighting Issac frost in fight night champion gotta be the hardest thing I have ever done even on the lowest diff

[@AltioraQuaeriteCH]

I finished the game, but I still have PTSD from Tom in Ghostrunner. 😭

[@JMacNBA]

definitely try out Spelunky 2 if you haven't might be the hardest one I've played. Just finished all trophies + the true 7-99 ending and had almost 400 hours on the game

[@Susiruhtinas]

I'd pick most of these games too, but in different way and would add Witness. Witness is difficult, because it so much bs puzzles and many times when you learn the puzzle types, it is easy to misunderstand the idea of the puzzle and really hard to try and learn it later. Sekiro is not as difficult because it is full of "exploits" and you don't have to learn patterns if you can find a workaround.

You said you've played 2k games. Do you have a spreadsheet or use an app to keep track?

[@unapcgamer9042]

Nah, i just remember the good ones

A solid underplayed game with average difficulty was SteelRising. The french soulsborn with robots that isnt lies of p.

[@unapcgamer9042]

Played it, was good but felt like the pre alpha of lop

The last boss in sekiro is longer to beat than some indie games

[@angeldillemuthactor]

He was easily the hardest thing for me. But for the most part, I was not raging at much. Hardest fights of course the final boss was just gross, the woman who is the first skill check and owl

[@deanlowdon8381]

I had to give up on the final boss in the end. Attempted it 35-40 times and just couldn’t do it.

[@alexrogers9051]

I’ve found Sekiro to be easier on my steamdeck compared to my series x with wireless controller…I don’t know if the button inputs register faster or not but I could not beat Ashoka Genichiro for the life of me for over 3 years on Xbox but I beat him on my second try on my steamdeck.

[@alexrogers9051]

I’m up at the end now past owl father. I just beat the true corrupted monk and am at the giant koi fish area.

[@kitkit6610]

Examina is still in early access I think?that games learning curve is unreal but worth

[@danben6956]

Now play Lies of P, you'll love it and it's maybe harder than Sekiro

[@sebastianzarek7056]

Putting hades in this list is absolutely criminal. It's literally the easiest roguelike ever. Like, I wonder if anyone ever used the "God Mode" setting. Luckily Hades II isn't such a pushover anymore. And yes, I know you can make the game ridiculously hard, I mean only the base no heat difficulty.

[@KingKarimYT]

I beat Armored Core but can’t really get into the Souls game because of the way the checkpoint in those games work.

[@josephwarhurst3133]

No lies of p on there I couldn’t even get past the first boss.

[@lemming9984]

me neither. I tried the free demo, gave up after four tries at the boss. NO desire to try again!!

U need to try monster hunter world the fatalis fight is pretty crazy, and some others like alatreon

[@sonicjaxon8107]

Sekiro indeed was the hardest game I ever played First playthrough. I beat in the first month it came out and man I spent hours upon hours with bosses Struggling. Now I replayed it 2 months ago and beat it so fast with the demon bell. I was like theres no fucken way this is the same game i struggled on. But knowing and remebering what Bosses and enemy do is crazy different than first time playthrough

[@leigh-jeanterblanche5833]

People forget that fucken burning dog boss in the chalice dungeons of bloodborne , watchdog of the old lords. hardest boss in bloodborne dlc included.

[@foreverkurome]

Time for me to go and 100% crash bandicoot 4. I hear a blue haired creepy anime girl telling me crash bandicoot 4 must be slain.

[@attackinglinks9216]

I know from experience because I faced lady butterfly she's a hard boss as well as guardian and headless ape and the owl father

[@sebastianzarek7056]

Go play Nine Sols, that game is the only game I've ever played in my life where I spent 3hrs fighting a boss... (the FINAL final one of course) And I've had plenty of hard games, Just for the record I did Hollow Knight 112% and beat P5 on all bindings (not all at once tho, 1 by 1), I did 100% in some souls games (didn't play elden ring and sifu yet) And yet I never struggled as hard as with this one.

[@antonhallergren588]

Escape from tarkov. While yes not a fighting game it is easily the hardest video game to date. The learning curve to getting decent is like 1000 hours.

[@zoelindwall637]

I agree with number 15 and number two being difficult I died 300 times in the crate escape level😐

[@istriver.]

Can you talk about Dbz video games, if you did play any?
