10 Video Games You Have To Punish Yourself To Play

The Ring Fit is an interesting franchise to consider when it comes to difficult games, because how difficult it is very much is a matter that is left up to you - because, as an exercise game, it's aware it probably shouldn't give you a heart attack. While an initial tutorial tests your strength to decide what difficulty you start the game on, at any point you're welcome to lower the difficulty as much as you like - and at the start of every play session it asks if you'd like to raise or lower the difficulty.

Only, you totally won't, because your pride will tell you this is a fate worse than death. If you want as good a workout as you can get - or are too stubborn to downgrade the difficult from where the game first set you - you can easily be in for a rough ride.

This is doubly true if you up the difficulty a ton whilst playing through the easier beginning levels of the game, as things quickly get some troublesome. This is one game that might at least give you abs in reward for your suffering, at least.
