Top 25 Hardest Extremes From WORST to BEST!

[@dantes.7715]

Slaughterhouse is one of my favorite levels, but that’s because I left the game when Erebus was the top 1, and came back and saw Slaughterhouse and was just in pure shock and awe.

[@xraku3744]

I think Slaughterhouse is honestly a great top 1 because it has a great atmosphere, phenomenal intensity, and it works as a top 1 too because it is extremely intimidating and is a show off kind of level. I also just like it because it shows how hard GD can be. I think it’s always better for a top 1 to be fast, crazy, and intense

[@sfr4174]

I left the game when bloodlust just came out and I came back to slaughterhouse and sakupen circles and was amazed man

[@Hdagoat_]

Some random guy is 2021: let's all go verify impossible levels and have new top 1s every five seconds! everyone: slaughterhouse, firework, Arcturus, Limbo and hard marchine all done in 2 attempts

[@hyspdzgd7026]

I think Slaughterhouse is a great level but, i hate the fact that there's 5000 other remakes of slaughterhouse which makes the level look really unoriginal now

[@carbon4918]

I’d put verdant landscape higher, it’s a bit out of my skill range as of now but it’s still incredibly fun to play despite it’s difficultly. Also I really love the song.

[@Tankalty]

Despite nothing because you beat none of the top25 ;)

[@jonahcraft7]

I agree

[@jonahcraft7]

Move hard machine down and replace hard machine with verdant landscape

[@jonahcraft7]

Also sary never clear should not be top 5

[@kastryl1459]

Verdant Landscape is in my top 3 favorite top 25s. I really like Verdant Landscape

hot take: slaughterhouse is the best top 1 to ever come out (not best level, best top 1) it fits its place so perfectly being an edgy super intense heart attack provoking level and i think it deserves more credit for that edit: also trueffet is hella underrated as a level

[@leafly7917]

Idk I think level wise that bloodbath was a damn good top 1. Sort of like how Tartarus was pretty decent in the way that it looks how you would imagine a top 1 looks. I mean I agree that slaughterhouse is pretty intense and awesome for a top 1, but it also utilizes mainly the wave gamemode and most new players haven't used that yet and have no clue what it is a lot of the time. Still I'm not bashing your opinion, I do agree to an extent. It's a pretty cool top 1.

[@PORTALIAN_Makes_Bass]

Your opinion on Sary Never Clear is very similar to my opinion of Thinking Space, except that Thinking Space has nostalgia for me because it was the first level I ever played. I started the game, went to the recently rated tab, and the first level there was Thinking Space.

[@diamondking169]

You are a very new player then. It was made in like 2015 or 2016 and took like 5 years to get rated

[@yoitzchris8533]

Sakupen Circles totally agree aeon. i always hated this level except the deco.

[@ussuriii]

I respect your placements, and why you put them there! Even though I have some disagreements I can understand where you’re coming from. My personal bottom three is: SARY NEVER CLEAR (I personally hate the song and decoration) Thinking Space (The extreme unbalance and the visuals are subpar) Keres (I have never been an erebus fan, and the remake isn’t the greatest imo) My top 3 is RUST (This level is unique and fantastic, and the song and visuals are exceptional) Zodiac (The song and visuals to me are awesome too) Cold Sweat (I love the atmosphere, gameplay, and the song of course. The effects in this level and the overall charm it has puts cold sweat as my #1) So I definitely have some different opinions! But we’re different people with different opinions, and i respect that. Great video as always Aeon!

[@ussuriii]

@Nadir Yeah, rust 3, zodiac 2, cold sweat 1

Hey Aeon I just wanted to let you know that I really love your new style of commentary videos. Some KZbinrs have overused the “commentary” style, but it is really fun to watch with that AeonAir feel

[@ZMan778]

I love how most of the gameplay is from Spaceuk

[@Outense]

Personally I would put the golden higher since I personally love what the golden tries to do and I think the song is a banger, and I would put swi higher since sonic wave is one of my favourite levels (fight me) and maybe slaughterhouse just a bit higher, but other than that I totally agree with this list

[@goo9262]

Wtf i with hard machine lmao

[@zob3412]

The Sakupen Circles remake's deco is intense in my opinion. Probably the best you can get from an old impossible level (and a Nice Circles level). The crazy flashes and all those ashes flying everywhere gives an incredibly intense vibe and thevsong itself is also extremely intense, so it fits the gp and deco well. But the main reason why I love SC is because that I've been watching videos of it since 2017 or smth, watching and understanding how hard this level is just gives massive nostalgia. I really love the level (despite not playing it)

[@zanmolecules4105]

I can’t help but disagree. While I understand most of the points you make, I think the decoration is cluttered, messy, random, and in some parts, it’s eye straining. The gameplay is ass, and it’s not anywhere near accessible to anyone out of the skill range. The difficulty balancing is worse than Tenth Circle. There’s 18 seconds of brutal wave gameplay which requires spot on accuracy and precision, then right after that it throws you straight into a bloodbath difficulty straight fly. To be positive, at least it’s not Silent Club

[@BrodieMitch]

The “die” in decent into exile stands for “decent into exile” because it is its initials

[@charlieheath1857]

Am I alone in loving SWI's deco?

That's because unlike Zodiac, both of them are overglorified challenge levels.

I know that it's YOUR opinion, so I'm not gonna put mine here, but I just wanted to say that Verdant Landscape and Rust are my favorite extremes, even if I can't even beat a medium demon, I love the deco, the gameplay looks "fun", and yeah, they are amazing !

[@warrion0045]

I'd put Fragile really close to the top personally, mostly because it fits the song perfectly in my opinion and because the gameplay in the extension is really good.

[@calvinonmc]

Eh, couldn't disagree more with half of these picks. I personally LOVE arcturus, Sakupen Circles, and Slaughterhouse. Sakupen Circles nails the theme, with the predrop being easier to accommodate the suspense and the drop just being so insane. Arcturus has an amazing song to fit it's theme and very creative gameplay, and Slaughterhouse nails the theming too to fit its already amazing song. SWI is so cool, as I love Sonic Wave and you can just see the care put into every part. As for your top picks, sary never clear feels like another boring remake of an old impossible level, and Rust is just so ugly to me, although it has nice gameplay.

[@sentlne1]

Slaughterhouses deco is really good, it's just a shame some parts like the straight flys before rivers wave aren't REALLY decorated.

[@whitish1968]

i feel like the part after 51% or smth (that one with the scary clubstep monsters) lacks a lot of character, because from now on there's really no more scary stuff and the gameplay you can understand what to do (if i said that right)

[@ComicBoy750]

Honestly, I agree with the song in Fragile. I really like the melody of the song but the vocals ruin it a bit for me. They give me an anime vibe & I’m really not into anime at all whatsoever. I’m more into music like classic rock & MDK & Boom Kitty’s songs in general but this song does have somethings going for it that I really like. I’m probably gonna get flamed in the replys here with stuff like, “How could not like the vocals/not like anime!?!?!?!?” but I really don’t care. This is my opinion & I’m proud of it.
