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.

I'm about to just toss Remnant 2 out. I thought maybe it would be better than the first one, but it's even more bullshit. Like, it's a shooter and the first boss hurts you while you look at it. The intended method to defeat it feels way more like cheesing an exploit. I've gotten through the first quest in the Labyrinth and I'm hating the bosses even more than the first game with how just annoyingly unfair they are if you're not playing with a group. They're simply not fun.

Returnal is very similar in gameplay, and is even a roguelike with super brutal gameplay; even that game isn't as frustrating as Remnant 2. The bosses are hard, but not unfairly so.
