10 Unforgiving Video Games Hardly Anyone Can Beat

The bright and happy visuals shouldn't distract players from the fact that Cloudberry Kingdom remains one of the most unforgiving titles to have been released over the past decade or so.

Another platformer designed to infuriate its players, Cloudberry Kingdom's level design puts an emphasis on precise horizontal movements and an adaptive difficulty that is designed to adjust to a player's skill level. The game's levels start off simple enough but quickly descend into the utterly insane as more and more obstacles are thrown into the mix.

Just like with other platformers like I Wanna Be The Guy, what makes Cloudberry Kingdom so notoriously difficult is the abundance of underhand tactics the developers utilise to trip players up. Crammed with invisible threats across all 320 levels, the fact the final chapter in the game is named 'The Masochist' should speak volumes. In fact, the developers even pledged to give the first player to complete the game $1,000, that's how much of a challenge this game has proven to be.

In total, less than 0.10% of all players across all consoles have managed to complete the 'Shenanigans!' trophy, the achievement reserved for those who make it through the final chapter in the game.
