8 Video Games That Punished You For Going Too Fast!

For anyone who's played the absolutely brilliant Left4Dead games or the almighty Warhammer classics Vermintide 1 or 2, then you'll know that being light on your feet and quick on the trigger really is essential to survival. When you've got hordes of infected or a literal tide of fur and fangs pouring down on you, staying mobile is basically the only way to stay in one piece, especially with all the special enemies that drop in to ruin your day.

However, zipping through levels at speed might actually also lead to your downfall thanks to the cruel and often very unforgiving AI Directors that exist within both titles. In very basic terms, the "Director" keeps track of how your team is progressing, what health, weapons, and items you have, and if it thinks you're doing too well, it'll slap you right in the chops and unleash the masses to curb your progress.

It's a brutally efficient way to challenge players, and there's nothing quite like that sense of pride evaporating when you spot what looks like a tsunami of bodies coming your way. Still, there's nothing like taking on these extra challenges doled out for doing too well or going too quickly and coming out on top.
