15 Toughest RPGs of All Time

Demon’s Souls

Of course, we’d be remiss in mentioning Dark Souls without speaking of its predecessor Demon’s Souls. Paying homage to old-school difficulty, FromSoftware’s epic immediately thrust you into the action, challenging you to master its combat while dealing with overwhelming odds. Considered “stoic” and rigid, the world eventually warmed up to the exploration and challenge. The asynchronous multiplayer was similarly a hit as players left messages for each other, appeared as ghosts in one’s playthrough and much more.
