What's the hardest game you've ever played?

Company of heros was great!

I'm playing Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen, it's pretty tricky on hard! I'm trying to solo a lot of it now but some of the bosses need the distraction of a party to get the opportunity to kill them.

The hardest game is....Life. I've been playin it for 50 odd years and still not got the hang of it!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Seriously, a work colleague has been playing Sabre Wulf since 1984 and is yet to finish it!!!:eek: By the way, this is a ZX Spectrum game which he now plays on an emulator - this is a 100% genuine post.

It's a bit too hard for me - only in that I absolutely HATE platformers and regard them as a throwback to when games were crap (At one time platformers were one of the few games possible with old technology, so they made them really hard to give them long term playability), but there's one out for Xbox One I'd highly recommend called Ori and the blind forest.

Sure most have heard of it, but IF you like hard platformers, it's incredible. Looks exquisite and the controls are tightly perfect.

As I said, not for me, I just dislike platformers so much, but I recognise this is pretty special and will tax you

The hardest game I've played recently is something on the iPhone called Asteroid Tap.

Funnily enough it was really easy to learn to play but very hard to shoot many asteroids...

I used to have Sabre Wulf for my Amstrad.

I didn't finish it.

Dark Souls was one of the hardest games I have ever played.

Man, I've been gaming for 25 years and I have a feeling a lot of games from my youth simply felt difficult because my child brain couldn't figure out simple stuff.

I remember playing this point and click adventure/puzzle game based on the movie of Congo and simply could not advance past a certain point in the game.

Now, this was before internet guides became a thing, so it was an absolute mystery to me and all my friends.

Man how many hours I searched around the rainforest, trying to figure out what the game wanted me to do, getting killed left and right by cutscene events that played every time you screwed up, but alas, never did figure it out back then.

Hmmm. Should probably find the game and see how it feels to an adult mind.

The internet ruins point and click adventures. I remember playing old Sierra games and literally spending hours going back and forth to figure out what to do next - it's far too easy to look up a guide these days, and virtually impossible to resist the temptation when you get 'stuck', even if only for few minutes.
