The hardest video games frustrate the player by design, offering a constant and relentless challenge.
These games often give the player little health or single life, penalize the player by giving less health after death, and feature a new game+ mode once completed for an extra challenge. Some of the hardest games offer very little guidance, forcing players to choose their path and learn from their mistakes. The hardest games are not fair and require dedication and persistence to complete.
