Hardest computer games you played.

Recently finished Bard's Tale IV Director's Cut on Xbox One.
Overall it was quite an enjoyable old-school D&D-style game, but one mission near the end is almost impossible and ruined the experience for me.
You travel to an isolated island, have to explore some ruins and save a king, which I accomplished after a couple of days of grind.
When though you try to leave the stronghold, you are ambushed by a virtually invincible enemy.
If you hadn't selected the optimum team for this particular enemy before starting the mission (which I hadn't), then it is impossible to succeed.
My only option was to abandon hours of gameplay and go back to a previous save so I could continue with the main quest.
That is really, really bad game design.

I recently did a nostalgia tour of old Spectrum games - we were so mesmerised by them at the time - and they are sooooo annoying! Almost impossible.

Those who had a speccy might remember Jack and the Beanstalk. Pure hell and I think it wanted you to be pixel perfect when moving/jumping.
like others, I got bored of the megagames (Elite, Dun Darach etc), if Robin Candy didnt have a map or a few POKE's to offer - that was me gone....

Witcher 3

Witcher 3

Brilliant game - probably my all-time favourite RPG!
Wouldn't say it was enormously difficult, but it took me around 4 months to complete. Was definitely worth the time spent.
Skyrim had quite a similar vibe was was almost as good.
Amongst more recent games, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which I'm currently playing, has almost recaptured that Witcher 3 magic and has absolute tons of content.

Honestly, one of the toughest games I’ve played has been dragon city pc. It looks pretty chill at first, but once you get deeper into raising dragons and battling, it really makes you think about your strategy and resource management. It sneaks up on you and gets pretty challenging!
