9 Video Games That Mock You For Playing On Easy

3. My Summer Car

my summer car

Vehicle Simulation hit My Summer Car has you setting down the AK and the philosophical conundrums at the heart of a society at odds with itself to instead focus your attention on restoring a car, surviving in said car, and generally being a menace.

But let it not be said that a bizarre and hilarious car game that is brutally Finnish in the very best way, can’t also make you the laughing stock of your hopefully empty living room.

My accidental jab at your living situation aside, this mockery is one that comes in the form of an achievement. You’re sort of encouraged to throw yourself headlong into My Summer Car, be super confused, strangely delighted, and slowly amass a mounting number of stories about how you died that time around but if you’d prefer to stick around, there is an option to turn off the otherwise automatically-on permadeath. 

Should you start a game with permadeath off the game will give you an achievement called “I am coward”. There’s really not much more I need to say about that one, is there.
