10 More Levels That Almost Made You Quit Video Games

4. Cathedral Of Sacred Blood - Code Vein

Now, there’s something important you need to understand about the lore of the Cathedral of the Sacred Blood in the 2019 action game Code Vein.

And let me be clear, this tidbit explains some of why this level is s**t but doesn’t excuse it.

The location was deliberately designed within the lore of the game to be a twisting and complicated mess to navigate in order to prevent people from reaching the Cathedral. Well, you certainly couldn’t say they failed at that. Unfortunately, you’re a person who wants to reach the Cathedral so welcome to one of the most irritating areas in video games. Even with a guide this one is horrific to find your way around so that’s really saying something. It’s riddled with tough enemies, it’s enormous, and it comes with a fun break in the middle where you play through a flashback before getting chucked right back in.

There are multiple bosses, and loads of items you’ll need to go out of your way to find in order to get better skills and the good ending so you can’t even hurry through.

It’s initially quite pretty but eventually everything looks the same and there are holes galore you can fall into that kill you instantly just to top up the pain. Speaking of pain, let’s drop into the next entry.
