10 Video Games That Must Be Played On The Hardest Difficulty

7. Mass Effect 2 - Insanity Mode

Regardless of what difficulty you play it on, Mass Effect 2 is an amazing game. Being an RPG, a lot of people will even want their Shepard to blast away all cannon fodder quickly so that they can swiftly return to talking with the crew and trying to have wild, animalistic sex with Jack.

Still, even if you’re someone who boasts about playing the game for its narrative, characters and universe, it’s an adventure you’ll replay countless times, meaning you should at least once try and best its Insanity challenge.

A ridiculously rough time in which all enemies have shield or armour, are more violent and power aggressive, and are a lot smarter with their flanking.

You’ll die repeatedly, but you’ll strangely love every minute of it. The space operatic battles feel infinitely more dramatic and war-like, and overcoming the odds makes you genuinely feel like the badass saviour of the galaxy that everyone hypes you up as.
