10 Video Game Tricks That Will Blow Your Mind

5. Low Health Lasts Longer - Doom & Assassin's Creed

Video games at the end of the day are a hobby, and a pastime for millions of people worldwide. From matching fruit, finding treasure or even overthrowing an evil rule, they fill a void, scratching an itch unlike any other. In terms of Assassin’s Creed they let the player live out their stealth fantasy, whist in the case of Doom 2016, well they let you be Doom Guy.

But what do these games share in common, why are they bundled together on this list?

Well, these games manipulate their battles and the player’s health to keep them going, just that little bit longer.

Ever feel like a badass after ripping and tearing waves of demons in Doom or shanking everyone in a city with that cool Assassin wristblade?

Sorry to burst the bubble, but developers actually manipulate your health bar to make this an illusion. That battle where you came out with just a smidgen of health? That final sliver looking like 10% accounts for a lot more, ensuring you JUST make it through in one piece.
