Every game scored through your profile. Filter by the kind of hard you are after — the axis that spikes, the assists you need, the ceiling you are willing to hit. These are generic numbers until you calibrate.

2019 · Respawn Entertainment · ~80h
The movement is the skill ceiling and nothing in the game mentions it — the players beating you are using techniques that were never taught, only tolerated.
2025 · Team Cherry · ~40h
Faster than Hollow Knight and less forgiving with it. Enemies crowd, healing is a commitment rather than a pause, and the early bosses assume reflexes the first game spent thirty hours building.
2011 · FromSoftware · ~45h
The difficulty is mostly geography — knowing which door to take is worth more than any weapon in the game.
2019 · Kunos Simulazioni · ~50h
Driving it is a fraction of it. The car arrives on a setup that is wrong for the conditions, the game does not say so, and a lap that felt fine can be two seconds off because the tyre pressures were.
2022 · FromSoftware · ~60h
Enormous and completely indifferent — most of its walls are optional, and it will never tell you which ones.
2016 · Drool · ~8h
Rhythm violence at speeds that stop being readable. The later levels are memorised rather than reacted to, whatever it feels like at the time.
2025 · Leenzee Games · ~40h
A soulslike whose madness meter punishes dying by making the next attempt harder, which is the one design choice that turns a losing streak into a spiral.
2015 · Psyonix · ~100h
Nothing is hidden and nothing is easy: every technique in the game is visible from the first match and takes hundreds of hours in the hands.
2016 · Ska Studios · ~25h
Everything the 3D games do, minus a camera and plus a pit — the second axis of movement is gone, so a mistimed roll usually means falling somewhere worse.
2022 · Capcom · ~50h
Rise apologises for nothing in its expansion — the endgame Anomaly hunts are the hardest sustained content the series has shipped.
2016 · FromSoftware · ~40h
The world is kinder than Dark Souls and the bosses are considerably meaner — almost all of the difficulty has moved into the fog gates.
2020 · Cold Symmetry · ~12h
Short and dense, and almost nothing in it is labelled — you learn what an item does by eating it and finding out.
2021 · Housemarque · ~25h
Bullet-hell reflexes bolted to roguelike stakes — the two hardest things to hold simultaneously for two uninterrupted hours.
2019 · Codemasters · ~30h
Pace notes, no rewind on the harder settings, and a damage model that ends a rally on one bad corner. The hardest driving in the catalogue by a distance.
2016 · The Game Bakers · ~8h
Nothing but boss fights, each a bullet hell and a duel at once. Phases checkpoint until the late ones, which do not.
2022 · Sloclap · ~12h
Every death ages you, and an old master dies in two hits. The run-level economy is what punishes learning a boss the slow way.
2013 · PlatinumGames · ~8h
There is no block button — parrying is a direction plus an attack, aimed at the incoming blow, and the game tells you this once and then assumes it.
2019 · The Game Kitchen · ~20h
Heavy attacks with no cancel, instant-death platforming, and guilt fragments that tax you for dying exactly where you were already struggling.
2022 · Blizzard Entertainment · ~60h
Aim matters less than knowing what the other team can do to you, and the roster is large enough that this takes a very long time to learn.
2017 · Epic Games · ~60h
Building is a second game bolted to the first, played at a speed that looks like a bug, and the mode that removes it is where most people should start.
2024 · Game Science · ~40h
Aggressive rather than punishing — dying costs you almost nothing, so the walls are boss-shaped and the rest is spectacle.
2007 · ppy · ~100h
The purest execution test in the catalogue and one of the cheapest failures — nothing is lost when a run ends, which is exactly why people attempt the same map four hundred times.
2019 · Deck13 Interactive · ~25h
A directional parry replaces the roll as the answer to almost everything, and the game is markedly better once it clicks and markedly worse until it does.
2023 · Gunfire Games · ~30h
Aim is only half of it — the generation means the run you get may simply not contain the item you needed, and the game will not tell you that either.
2019 · Askiisoft · ~6h
One hit kills you and one hit kills them, and the retry is instant. Each room is a plan you rehearse at speed, not an endurance test.
