10 Video Games You Have To Punish Yourself To Play
5. Out Of This World
Out of This World is both one of the most fun games to play without any prior knowledge, and one of the most frustrating.
This is because you don't get any moment where the game really teaches you what to do, or frankly wants you to know what to do. Your first death will almost without a doubt come in literally the first three second of the game, after accidentally walking towards a leech that turns out can kill you, or by just standing too long in the start area.
This sets a tone for the rest of the game, where - unless you play the whole thing while studying a walkthrough - you're going to die countless times to weird and more or less unpredictable deaths.
You can die by; rolling the wrong way down a tunnel you can't see to the end of, walking onto spikes that look like they are in the background, being hit by random falling rocks, and stepping onto what looks like ground but is actually an angry floor monster full of teeth, to name but a few.
In short, if you want to finish Out of This World, you have to be okay with a few dozen pretty unfair and totally unexpected deaths along the way.
