10 Video Games That Take A Genius To Beat

9. Discworld

While there have been many difficult adventure games over the years that asked you to solve elaborate puzzles, few are as vindictive as Discworld.

Based on the works of author Terry Pratchett, Discworld's puzzles often require you to tweak your brain in order to think on the same level as the mad genius writer himself.

The most simple actions like retrieving a disguise require you to perform extraordinary feats like traveling through time in order to put your past self in an elaborate scenario that will ever so slightly tweak the future, allowing you to retrieve what you need. Simple, right?

Even the old adventure game standby of just clicking on everything until something happens will not work here, as you are often required to complete tasks in very specific ways and will often be punished severely for any mistake in the process. Discworld is an insanely creative and humorous piece of gaming history, but it is no exaggeration to say that an average human trying to beat it without help from walkthroughs could spend months doing so.
