10 Recent Video Game Levels That Made You Rage Quit

10. Days Gone - The Sawmill Horde

This mission tasks Deacon St. John, everyone's favourite cut price Joel, with wiping out a horde of freakers at a sawmill. The term 'horde' is no exaggeration, with over 500 freakers waiting to take a chunk out of Deacon.

Once they sense you are in the area, they will pursue you with a rage and persistence not often seen in a video game.

The sawmill is a surprisingly labyrinthine building, meaning it's quite easy to run yourself into a dead end. There are objects you can pull down and shoot to thin the zombie numbers, but being on the run, and occasionally wobbly camera work can make this extremely difficult.

Preparation before the battle is key, but you can still find yourself struggling just by the sheer numbers of enemies. If you get surrounded, you are likely to die very quickly, on any difficulty.

Although this is arguably the best level of the game, it comes near the end of a very long and frankly arduous campaign, meaning player's patience has probably worn thin.

The fighting is so intense, the struggle for survival so desperate, that failure can feel a hundred times worse.
