15 Video Games That Mock You For Playing On Easy Mode

3. King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow

Since the very first entry in the series, one of the central appeals of the King's Quest series has been the adventure itself. From the original all the way up to last year's remake, the games have showcased a variety of environments, enemies and characters, and emphasised considerably your interactions with those around you.

In King's Quest VI however, the player is given two very distinct options: a quick route, and a much longer quote. The correct route is the long one (at least according to the developers), as the short route bypasses several side quests and even huge chunks of the main quest as well. If you do take the short room, Cassima will lament all the missed opportunities and experiences, suggesting that while you have indeed managed to finish the game, you've missed a lot of important stuff. In short, she basically tells you to start again and play it right this time!
