11 Video Games That Are Better If You Suck
11. Dead Cells
In Dead Cells, you play as a resurrected corpse who's trying to escape from an undisclosed island. Due to the prison's gargantuan size and the fact that it's populated by a gazillion enemies and traps, meeting your maker a few hundred times is guaranteed
Brutally difficult games are usually frustrating because the player feels like they're making very little progress. Not only that, the gameplay can get repetitive since the player is forced to endure the same levels over and over.
Thankfully, Dead Cells bypasses these problems due to its unique structure. Firstly, this Metroidvania title has procedurally generated levels so no two playthroughs are the same.
Secondly, you attain something new every time you bite the dust, meaning that dying benefits you. Whether you receive knowledge or a brand-new weapon, it feels like you are always making progress, no matter how many times you find yourself taking a dirt nap.
This is a great system since it takes SO(OOOOO) long to beat Dead Cells. Although you have to dedicate many hours to complete this game, it never feels like a slog, since no playthrough is wasted.
