10 Most Challenging Locations in Open World Games

HEARTMAN’S LAB (DEATH STRANDING)

Death Stranding is a weird game to judge when it comes to things like difficulty (and a bunch of other stuff, for that matter). There’s very little combat in the game, and most of it is focused almost entirely on traversal and exploration. Even within that framework, however, getting to Heartman’s Lab feels like a mountain you have to overcome. And, well, that’s literally what it is- getting to the lab will see you experiencing one of the most grueling treks in the game, with tricky mountainous terrain, horrible weather, blankets of deep snow as far as the eye can see, and areas that are crawling with BTs.
