10 Video Games Only The Most Skilled Players Can Handle

4. Cuphead

A gorgeous, stupidly beautiful game that was perhaps just a smidge too hard for its own good - you need only look at the achievement data to see how far the average player progressed.

It turns out - to the surprise of no one - that only 15% of all players actually finished the game on Normal. A slightly bigger 20% made it to the final Isle where the game's toughest bosses reside, but even the first and second isle completions were 65% and 32% respectively.

Back to the game itself, and Cuphead prides itself on having a brutally old-school mentality. Checkpoints are rationed out to the extreme, and overcoming any boss requires a solid half hour of memorising every attack that'll come your way, before you can turn the tables at every last second.
