TEKKEN 8

The combos are the advertised difficulty and the easy part. The real one is movement — walking, backdashing and sidestepping are the skill, and no mode in the game teaches them.

Real resistance. Expect to work for it.

AGE OF EMPIRES II: DEFINITIVE EDITION

Build orders are the curve, and the campaigns teach almost none of what the game actually asks for. The hard AI does not forget its economy while it fights.

Sustained pressure. Progress is earned.
