Souls Series
Dark Souls might have become the hackney shorthand for difficulty in the gaming space, but that’s a rather reductive view of Dark Souls in general. Dark Souls is absolutely punishing if you don’t pay attention, but it never takes the easy route of making it cheap. Much like some of the other titles on this list, in world mechanics such as using magic can help modulate the difficulty and ease players in as well. Would Dark Souls be the hit that it is without “Git Gud”? Probably not.
