20 Most Frustratingly Difficult Video Game Levels Of All Time
The levels that are at best unreasonably cruel, and at worst mock your pathetic ability with wholehearted glee.
We go to games for a diversion from the stress, commutes and nagging partners of our quotidian lives. In their purest form video games have the power to provide this route of escape, be it through engrossing graphics, an absorbing narrative or compelling gameplay. Over the years we have fallen in love with the video gaming industry and have been rewarded with some incredible titles which have established the medium as a legitimate art-form alongside films and quality television. However, they say theres a thin line between love and hate and this proves true of twiddling of our favourite thumb-twiddling hobby. We expect so much of video games that when they disappoint it can be deeply aggravating. In an otherwise quality game, nothing can be more frustrating than an unjustly difficult level or boss battle. We will fritter away hour-upon-hour attempting to vanquish said obstacle, causing us to grind our teeth, develop grey hairs and sling our mistreated controllers at the wall at the wall. Even if we are ever successful in overcoming this seemingly insurmountable stage in the game, knowing how much time we have frittered away into this unfairly designed level is a cause of even more frustration. We are normally able to lower the difficulty to make the task more accomplishable but our foolish pride and conceit normally inhibits us from taking the easier option. Over the years the ridiculous challenge of these frustrating levels has made many rage-quit, leave the game containing the hellish stage forever or even destroy their consoles. We would advise that you dont try these at home, but of course that is the only place to attempt these ridiculous challenges instead we advise that you are well rested, fed and arent harbouring any excess stress.
