The worst part about Mein Leben difficulty is, unlike other Ironman modes in games, there is no skipping Wolf 2's 10 minute non-combat sequence that starts each playthrough. The game was clearly not designed with the difficulty in mind.

DMC5 Hell and Hell mode. Especially if you want S rank. Not only is the whole game a punishing gauntlet then the final boss happens to you. You will be pounded into a fine paste before you see victory and even then most people are probably looking at C rank at best. I did this in search of S rank and found it... Do not know where I left my sanity though.

Can't believe that MGS Snake Eater European Difficulty isn't on this list. If you get spotted by any enemy throughout the entire course of the game, it's back to the very beginning. You don't even have to die to the enemies.
@LifesToughQuestions
Жыл бұрын
Did they seriously make this list without including MGS2 - 'European Extreme mode game over when spotted' ? Literally 1 hit you are dead, enemy 'scripted' AI is much smarter, it doesn't drop back to normal after caution mode, heaps more locked doors, traps, next to no ammo (sometimes requiring only hand to hand combat), no rations to gain that 1hp back 😅 ....oh and I forgot to mention, if the enemy (besides bosses) spots you, it is game over... this can also happen if you are hitting an enemy and they don't go down or get killed, because then they alert to you... This mode is brutal and only for those who love stealth, where you might spend 10 minutes not moving, just watching walking patterns to plan your attack.

Survival mode for Fallout 4 would probably count too. While most of the features are challenging but reasonable. One thing that makes this especially cruel is that you can only save when you use a bed. This can make things unfair if the game crashes or a bug happens and you lose all your progress. This is a good reason why people make mods that allow you to save in this mode.

Another one that should be mentioned is “Hell and Hell” mode on Devil May Cry 4 and 5. both bosses and enemies are at their hardest and fastest, bosses have more health and take more damage to defeat and the worst part you’ll die in one hit. Which means not only do you need to master the skills of the game do you also need lightning fast reflexes. anyone who’s beaten Devil May Cry on this mode has my respect.

Dead Space's Impossible mode is really not that hard. I finished Impossilbe NG with Plasma Cutter only, and had a surplus of like 30+ heals in the bank. Just don't get hit too much, and if you do, you can get a free heal with the suit's HP power up. It's just Hard mode with an extra step that when you die, you simply load your latest save BEFORE the game over screen (to avoid the save wipe), and assuming you frequently save, you'll lose very little progress, not much more than a regular checkpoint. The following NG+ I did on Easy and just got all the achievements for using the other weapons, and of course the secret ending.

While Kingdom Hearts 3 was not a difficult game by any stretch of the imagination, the DLC for the game introduced Pro Codes and tasked you with beating the game with as many as you could turned on. Restrictions range from: no healing, no items, no attractions, resetting your stats to Level 1 and beyond, what was really cruel was to get the achievement, you had just one playthrough to get to the highest rank grade, which meant you learned as you played. Certainly not for the faint of heart.

Enemies appear where they normally didn't in a normal playthrough (stronger enemies normally encountered later on in the game replace some of the weaker ones early and enemies appear where none are normally present), enemies and bosses have more health, and even the weakest enemies in the game can kill Ethan in two or three hits, even when Ethan himself has all of the upgrades given by The Duke's meals (increased movement speed, increased max health, etc.). You have no idea how close I was to losing my sanity and how happy I was when I finally beat it...
