10 Confusing Video Game Levels We NEVER Want To Play Again
6. The Path Of Hades - God Of War
It’s been said this particular level requires patience and skill. If you don’t have the latter I hope you have the former in spades because otherwise this one is going to get ugly. Perhaps the most hated level in the whole God of War series is The Path of Hades.
If I just unlocked a painful memory with this one, hit me up in the comments, we’ll have some group therapy.
Pun fully intended, this level can go to hell. Kratos is a tough dude but even he has a real rough time climbing back out of Hades as the path is riddled with infuriating platforming sections that you have to pull off with a fixed camera, loads of enemies to defeat, traps to evade, and a rotating wheel wall which has claimed many a gamer many a time. If the spinning cylindrical walkways don’t get you, the blades sticking out of them will and if you’re able to get past that you might get knocked off a floating platform by an enemy anyway. Just watching this level play out is anxiety inducing.
This level starts chaotic and tricky and somehow keeps upping the ante until it’s over.
The difficulty of the puzzles and the foes you have to contend with on narrow platforms is so unbalanced, it deters fans from wanting to replay the full game itself, let alone how much they don’t want to touch this one infuriating level.
