10 Most Annoying Video Game Enemies Of The Last Decade

10. Dark Elves - God Of War

It actually makes me feel a little dirty to speak negatively of the PS4's phenomenal God of War, especially when it genuinely moved me to tears come the close of its epic narrative. However, I would be remiss to say that the game was "perfect", thanks in part to some of the enemies you encounter along the way.

For the most part, the giants, brutes and evil horrors you face are fun to split in two with your axe, but the Dark Elves as a whole can just get in the bin as there are SO MANY OF THEM. Swarming the player at every given chance, any fight against them is turned into a slog when yet more of them hover up from out of nowhere thanks to a Summoner calling in reinforcements.

Add into the mix that some of them can blind you, and others can leap up into the air away from you, and you have an opponent that takes ages to get the better of as you're only ever able to chip away at them as they dart about. Still, that does make any executions that much more satisfying at the end.
