10 Nasty Video Game Levels Designed To Torture You

5. The Library - Halo

Underwater mission
Bungie

Ah, The Library: the Halo stage that brings all of the classic shooter's worst ingredients together to form an entirely unpleasant whole devoid of fun, colour and creative level design.

That Master Chief has the unenviable task of scaling four floors of identical grey corridors is bad enough, but them being flooded (pun intended) with a universally hated race of spore-based parasites only adds to the list of irritants.

Do you know what would be missed, if Bungie had decided to pull The Library from Halo's campaign? Nothing: its only purpose is to pamper the game's length with monotonous corridor shooting all while being accompanied with the floating ball of exposition personified that is Guilty Spark.
