10 Video Games That Kill You No Matter What

6. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Making the player face off against waves of enemies is a crux Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice relies on for just about every combat encounter, which ramp up massively in intensity and frequency towards the end.

Consequently, in the final hours you can find yourself up against seemingly never-ending streams of monsters, which means that when you get to the finale and you're bombarded with more enemies than ever before, you're sure you can beat them.

However, while Ninja Theory's ambitious title is all about overcoming insurmountable odds, the final level features one battle that you have no way of beating.

You can continue to fight for as long as your heart's content, but after about twenty minutes of constantly throwing yourself at a brick wall and scraping through by the skin of your teeth, you'll eventually slip up and get killed.

It's only then that you realise you had no chance of actually beating the odds at all and had to die to finish the game, ending on a rather crushing note.
