15 Most Difficult Gaming Moments Of 2014

1. Completing The Game On Akumu Mode (Where The Player Dies From One Hit) - The Evil Within

The Challenge: The highest difficulty setting on The Evil Within, Akumu mode (which means "Worst Dream" in Japanese), which can only be accessed after already beating the game once. A single hit from an enemy will kill you, while enemies are also harder to kill, more plentiful, positioned in different areas, and there are much less supplies for the player. Why It's So Difficult: Uh, because of everything just mentioned? This is the ultimate in hardcore video game difficulties, where one mistake will kill you off, and it goes without saying that even if you're one of the elite few able to make it through Akumu mode, you're going to have hundreds upon hundreds of deaths to your name. Well, unless you're this maniac, who managed to beat the whole game on Akumu difficulty without dying once... Akumu. Not even once. Which video game moments most tested your resolve throughout 2014?
