10 Most Stressful Video Game Levels

Dark Bramble – Outer Wilds

With an interesting progression loop and an intriguing storyline, Mobius Digital’s Outer Wilds is easily one of the most creative games of the last generation. While not the most demanding in terms of difficulty, the planet Dark Bramble can prove to be a stressful experience for first-timers. Located at the far end of the overworld, this planet is engulfed by a thick mist that significantly hampers visibility. Add to that plenty of thorns and the constant danger of a giant fish that will attack you if it hears your sound, and Dark Bramble can become a literal nightmare to explore. But what makes this so stressful is you have to keep returning to this area in search of more secrets to advance the plot, which of course – requires fending these threats over and over again.
