15 Brutally Difficult Video Games That Totally Broke You

6. Super Meat Boy (2010)

Super Meat Boy is weird. That's about it. You play as a blob of meat (go figure) that runs and climbs around levels that absolutely packed with all the buzzsaws, spikes, fire pits and enemies you could ask for. There are more than 300 levels throughout the entire game and you basically just die continuously until you somehow get to the next one. Your playable cube of meat dies with one touch, too, which coupled with very touchy and ultra responsive controls, means any slight movement in the wrong direction could, and will, result in more death. As if that isn't enough, the game will show a replay of all your combined deaths after you complete each level, just to rub salt in the wound.
