What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? (beehaw.org)

Be it a game that's difficult in its entirety, or a particular challenge in a game that you just couldn't complete.

For me, there are three that come to mind:

  • Super Hostile: Waking Up (Minecraft Custom Map, Hard difficulty). That damn water section...
  • Terraria Zenith Mode. Coming from someone to whom Master Mode is fairly easy, this was rough.
  • Calamity Death Mode (Terraria). I beat DoG (this was back when a headshot was an automatic death), but I just could not click with the Yharim fight. I also think burnout was at play here because that was a LONG playthrough.

Stephen's Sausage Roll.

I play a lot of puzzle games. Some of them are pretty hard (the later levels of Tametsi take quite a while to crack).

But this one is on a completely different level. If there is a more brutally punishing sokoban-family game on existence, I have no idea what it might be.

Stephen, if he exists, is most likely condemned to roll sausages eternally in hell, for the sin of making this game.

Surely, Baba Is You is horrible and awful! By which I mean very good. And either unreasonably hard or maybe I'm stupid. Avoid at all costs!

Baba Is You is fantastic, and I think its difficulty curve is much, much more reasonable in the beginning than Stephen's Sausage Roll. I haven't finished it, but I didn't utterly bounce off it either.
