10 Horror Video Games That Brutally Punish You

2. Resident Evil 4

You could likely make a case to include numerous scenarios from the Resident Evil franchise here, yet all Resi mentions are being capped at two; that being the previous Rebecca Chambers entry, and this RE4 mention that's all about not messing around with Luis Sera.

For the most part, Luis is on-screen to accompany Leon and to act the fool. Of course, he's an extremely smart fella who is responsible for some of the monstrous beasts that you see dotted through Resident Evil 4 - proving his capable of some impressive, if not questionable, feats.

One such feat that Leon can find out the hard way, is that Luis Sera will happily kill you if you d*ck around with him too much.

During those missions where he's at Leon's side, if Luis gets hit three or more times he'll throw his toys out of the pram. And for RE4 players, that means that Luis will turn around and shoot Leon dead - sending you to the game over screen and giving you an even bigger urge to start unloading your gun or a few choice grenades in Luis' direction once you're back in.
