10 Video Games Ruined By TERRIBLE Bosses

10. Sonic Superstars

The wounds are surely still fresh for anyone out there who actually made it to the end of the recently released Sonic Superstars without tearing all their damn hair out.

Though the game's earlier bosses are easy enough to dispense with, before long it hurls you into a series of maddeningly unfair encounters which, while not mechanically difficult as such, are designed for maximum player frustration.

Indeed, it doesn't take long to figure out what you need to do to defeat most of the game's bosses, but the sheer length of these fights - often totalling around five minutes, where the lack of checkpointing forces you to start all over again upon dying - is punishing in all the wrong ways.

As fun as Sonic Superstars' overall platforming gameplay is, the mind-numbing tedium of the bosses - especially accepting how many of them are, and how much time you'll waste sitting through their lengthy immune phases - ultimately makes it a dispiriting chore to play.

In fact, the later bosses are bulls**t enough that trophy data reveals only a small fraction of players have actually reached the end of the game yet.
