10 Video Games That Take A Genius To Beat

2. EVE Online

Okay, okay... I admit you can't actually beat EVE Online. But if we're all being honest, it's pretty likely that most people never figured out how to even start it.

For many, the idea of a massively multiplayer online game that allows you to live a life in near-infinite space is a dream come true. But before you start plotting your voyages across the galactic unknown in search of fortune and adventure, know that EVE Online is more accurately described as a spreadsheet simulator.

If you ever want to hurt your brain, go beyond the epic promotional screenshots of the game and look at the actual gameplay screens of some of the top players. Believe it or not that seemingly impossible series of menus, numbers and icons must all be mastered in order to accomplish anything.

It's difficult to imagine that actually living life in outer space could be as complex as the world of EVE Online.
