8 Hardest Video Game Boss Battles Of 2017 (So Far)

7. Eve - NieR: Automata

Though you can mitigate some of the frustration and general difficulty of Eve by blowing as many credits as possible on a huge supply of recovery items, the lengths Platinum Games go to try and catch you out border on the ridiculous.

Fighting Eve's first form isn't too bad, his large attacks come with pretty sizeable wind-ups, and you've still got 2B on-hand to help in dealing large amounts of continuous damage yourself.

Then you get to the next, 'post-apocalyptic' phase where all hell has broken loose, and it seems the only way the devs could think of adding challenge was to literally fill the screen with projectile orbs. That, and even if you can close the distance, you're closer to the point where all his attacks originate.

Even biding your time and feathering the dodge button can't save you when the screen itself is determined to put you down.
