15 Most Brutally Hard Video Games Of The Generation (So Far)

2. Crypt Of The Necrodancer

What's harder than fighting a room full of enemies?

Fighting a room full of enemies where you can only attack in time with the beat of the music.

Genuinely, there are few things as mind-bending as already trying to tap various directions so your character can move on cue, but then factor in bosses with audible patterns to pick out amongst the background score, foes that move in individual ways and power-ups you need to activate at precisely the right time. Just playing Crypt of the Necrodancer is one hell of an ask.

It stands to reason that only FOUR people have managed the Platinum trophy on PS4 (0.05% of the player base), as Brace Yourself Games really weren't kidding when they named their studio.
