METAL GEAR SOLID 2
While most difficulty modes we’ve mentioned here have earned a place in this feature because of unque hooks or solid balancing, Metal Gear Solid 2’s European Extreme mode is so frustratingly and ridiculously brutal that you simply have to see it to believe it. On this setting, the entire game becomes littered with sections that may not have been even remotely challenging under ordinary circumstances but end up feeling like insurmountable walls that you can only bang your head against. Of course, if/when you do manage to break through those walls, there’s nothing else quite like it.
