2025 is coming to its end, but for video games it was one hell. There were great shooters like Borderlands 4Great RPG like Monster Hunter WildsGreat Metroidvanias as Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the MistAnd many other experiences. Among these great titles were some of them unforgettable not because of their quality, but because of their difficulties.
What games did the players give the hardest time to start in 2025? Were they easier with patches, or did they remain challenging? Let's go through some of the most difficult consoles and PC games from 2025 for those looking for a challenge or for players who just want to ventilate next to others.
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Fans
Hollow Knight: Silksong's High -quality debate is usually associated with difficulty coming from the original game. The events hit hard, running on the bosses can be unfair and time -consuming and diagonal forward attack is hard to get used to it. Patience is a cure for browsing through these tests in the game and there is no example that is impossible. It takes time and many attempts, but fortunately the game is so firm that even the darkest challenges are increased by works of art, NPCs and overall world design.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Timed counters
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 They will borrow strongly from other RPGs of the past, such as a counter -based system Super Mario RPG: Legend of Seven Stars. All enemy attacks can be either bent or facing, and the former option is easier and the other is more demanding but rewarding. If players choose no option, then they die quickly in battle, even against the normal crowds of enemies.
There are settings technically easier to make the game, but despite the switch it is still challenging. Also some of the optional bosses Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 They are too brutal in the ward, which is even harder to beat.
Elden ring nightreign
Co -operative or die
Elden Ring It is one of the simplest shifting games to jump, thanks to the design of the open world. The word “easy” comes with a star beside him, because it's still challenging. But the balance is fairer for players who are new to Soulslikes.
Elden ring nightreign It is a separate sequel that transforms parts of the open world into a Battle Royale zone that decreases as players match and achieve goals. It is a roguelike that focuses on the cooperation of three players to beat the final boss of each mission. The level of the challenge is greater due to the lack of real development and randomness of the world.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
More traditional souls
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the latest soul that hit the scene on various platforms. Based on Chinese mythology, players roam the ever -growing world full of danger, from bandits to demons. Timing is everything in fighting and managing mechanics is never easy in the soul. However, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers It seems particularly unforgivable to beginners who need to go through the game at a slow pace just to create.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
Wii u classic returned with a sharp edge
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is the remaster of the game wii u that makes everyone Xenoblade The game is now accessible on one system via the switch. Many changes in quality of life have been made to make the game easier.
Players will still explore the world where monsters wander, which will roam a far out-level. The chances of accidentally assault are high and there is nothing that players could not do, except that they walk a long way around the search areas, which sometimes results in difficult battles. It is a rewarding RPG with a mechanics similar to MMO, especially once the mosses are unlocked, but it is a brutal grind.
Hell is we
No main map
Hell is we is something like a soul, but it is more in harmony with games and action detailed games Zelda. The big trick around this post-apocalyptic action game is that there are no tasks or even a map to help players.
This means that players have to pay attention to each note they find to solve puzzles, some of the most complex parts of the game. This is one example where the fight is not a heavy part. Rather, the real test is the navigation and the solution of the puzzles Hell is we.

Forever Fun
Front mission 3: remake is a remake of tactical RPG PS1, where characters piloted mosses called Wanzers. The game contains a deep adaptation for each Wanzer because players can change parts and weapons in stores to increase strength.
Parts and weapons do not come cheaply and are distributed far apart. Pilots can balance and acquire skills, but in battle it does not do much compared to other tactical RPGs. This is a tactical RPG where strategies and happiness mean everything, especially in the first five to six hours.
Ninja Gaiden 2 black
Still hard almost two decades later
Ninja Gaiden 2 black It is a remaster, returning from Era Xbox 360. Ninja Gaiden's Restarting to the original Xbox was considered one of the most difficult games of all time, and this sequel is not much easier, even with the settings.

Ninja Gaiden Fans receive a triple dose of difficulty between this remaster, Ninja Gaiden: Rageboundand upcoming Ninja Gaiden 4.
