8 Video Games Where YOU Are The Final Boss

Now when you load up the utterly barmy Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy, you might well assume that the "final boss" involved in this game is either going to be the massive mountain in front of you, or the absolutely heinous control scheme as both are going to take a lot of effort to overcome.

Side note: I hear that swearing very loudly helps with both

However upon beginning your uphill climb, you'll soon realize something, likely aided by the voice of Mr. Foddy himself, that it's not the mountain that's the final hurdle, but your perceptions about perseverance and never giving up.

In a tangible sense yes the mountain is the object to climb, but YOU are the climber and as such will experience setbacks, moments of frustration, and the ability to learn and recognize patterns in order to overcome them, making it a perfect visual metaphor for life itself.

Sometimes we will be faced with situations so utterly overwhelming it will feel like we will never "get over" them, and sometimes, as with the controls, you're not often equipped with the right tools to make the job any easier.

However, it's through learning to work with your body, your mind, and your outlook that you come to see that you have the ability to achieve any goal and cross any milestone if you just keep working at it and learning from your mistakes.

You are the final boss here, but that doesn't mean you're something to be defeated, in fact, this game works best when you free yourself from anger and resentment and reward yourself for never giving up.
