14 Brutally Hard PS4 & Xbox One Games You Can't Handle

3. Rogue Legacy

Now for a 2D side-scroller completely soaked in charm - so much so that it negates any annoyances you'll have when coming up against its screen-filling boss battles.

Playing as a bloodline of knights, every time you die, it's your inheritor who takes up their parents' quest. This means your abilities change every time, rather like a dice roll in regards to character buffs and which weapons trickle down. You can strengthen your family to get different classes (and thereby, different abilities), but the basics are always the same - you're a knight going into a procedurally-generated castle to thwart evil and look for loot.

You'll die thousands of times and form quite the wall display of fallen heroes - but every time you learn from the mistakes of the past, carry through some equipment for a better chance, getting that little bit better every time.

Oh, and if you unlock the 'chronically flatulent knight', pick them. If nothing else, you'll gain one hell of a speed boost.
