To create excitement and allure, developers have also created games with unimaginable difficulty, pushing the limits of challenge to the extreme. It can be said that gamers who love conquering such titles are always “hardcore”. The harder the game, the more it attracts them. Here are the top 7 super difficult games that made waves in 2021.
Bravely Default 2
Bravely Default 2 is a game from Square Enix that was newly released at the end of 2021 and is very popular on Steam. The quality of this game is unquestionable, but it is extremely difficult and not very friendly to new players, true to the essence of its JRPG genre. Perhaps because the Japanese are used to playing difficult games, such challenging titles suit their taste. International gamers who want to play their games will have to strive to upgrade their skills.
There are 3 difficulty modes in Bravely Default 2, but for those with little RPG gaming experience, even the easiest mode is “difficult as hell”. However, it must be said that many people still enjoy the challenge of Bravely Default 2 because it gives them the feeling of playing classic JRPGs from the past.
Cyber Shadow
Cyber Shadow is a 2D side-scrolling game with an 8-bit art style, yet it offers smooth and fluid gameplay reminiscent of modern side-scrolling titles. The game is inspired by classic titles such as Metroid, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, and Castlevania.
In the game, you play as a ninja—the last surviving member of his clan—on a quest to defeat the evil Dr. Progen and his terrifying army. Only you can uncover the secrets of your clan’s power. The storyline may sound classic, easy to understand, and somewhat “childish,” but the gameplay is anything but. The game will challenge novice gamers to their limits, and it can even prove difficult for experienced players. If you’re not afraid of challenges, this is a game worth experiencing.
Metroid Dread
The queen of side-scrolling games has returned and is more powerful than ever. Metroid Dread offers gamers a remarkably smooth action gameplay mechanism. Samus can combine skills to uncover secrets in the game as well as combine various tools to take down formidable enemies. Everything flows seamlessly, creating an enjoyable experience for gamers.
What the old Metroid games could do, Metroid Dread can do as well, and what the old Metroid games could not do, Metroid Dread can also achieve. Besides the exciting new features, Metroid Dread also brings back the original difficulty of the early Metroid titles. Metroid Dread may not be long, but its difficulty will make you take much longer to finish it, even knowing it’s short. There will be bosses that will make you die dozens of times, and sometimes even the path to the boss will cause you to falter.
