10 Video Games With INSANELY Low Completion Rates

7. Demon's Souls - 25.34%

Red Dead Redemption 2
Sony

This is the first iteration of the game series that snapped a thousand controllers. FromSoftware released it in 2009/2010 (depending on region) and by 2011 it had sold over a million copies.

Reading this directly after the mammoth numbers put up by RDR2 doesn't do it justice though. This was a relatively unknown series and wasn't supported by seven-figure marketing campaigns and yet its unprecedented success led to the series as we know it.

It had tough but usually fair combat, based around set-piece boss fights. It had a home world "hub" called the Nexus and healing was done through the use of consumables. The weapon upgrades and infusions, the penalties for death and a lot of the core fundamentals all first appeared here. Including the bizarre obsession with crow-barring a poisonous swamp area in there somehow.

When compared to its successors, it does have the lowest completion rate but this could be put down to lack of uptake, which will hopefully be remedied with the upcoming remaster.

For anyone interested, the rest of the series ranks in the following order - Dark Souls Remastered (50%), Dark Souls 3 (47%), Sekiro (44%), Dark Souls 2 (44%) and Bloodborne (36%).
