I don't know if this is a bad thing but technically, the game I struggled on the most lately is Deltarune, and I have entirely no idea why, because I also regularly play another bullethell heavy game with far more going on in it (Tiny Rogues) and go about that no problem.

I don't play that many difficult video games, so I don't have a crazy answer, but the no mercy route in Undertale Yellow was probably the hardest thing I've done in a game.

Baldur's Gate 3. I did not like it either, which did not help.

You say you'd still rather wear the outfit. He's got nothing to say about that.

if you're really bored i'd suggest going into your library and just 100%ing a game. i personally think hotline miami 2 would be a decent pick.

i havent played any "traditionally" hard games lately, except for this roguelike called Cogmind. it's not so much "hard" as it is incredibly unforgiving of small mistakes. since its turn based, theres no mechanical pressure for you to sweat over, but you can make one small decision and watch your whole run disintegrate in real time. despite this its still incredibly fun.


in terms of "traditionally" hard games, id say Ultrakill - specifically my attempts to get the highest rank on the highest difficulty on every level. its a gruelling experience that took a month of my life before i had to call it quits due to irl circumstances. its also incredibly fun, but for totally different reasons from Cogmind lol

"When most people go to the movies, the ultimate compliment for them is to say 'We didn't notice the time pass!' With me, you see the time pass. And feel it pass. You also sense that this is the time that leads towards death, and that's why there's so much resistance. I took two hours of someone's life." -Chantal Akerman
