This hardcore driving sim is a nerve-shredding test of patience, dexterity, and keeping cool under pressure. Slinging one of those monstrously powerful '80s rally cars, like the lethal Lancia Stratos, through tight, sloppy mud tracks, inches away from a race-ending collision with a tree, is absolutely terrifying.
But the thrill of limping over the finish line, dented, broken, and punctured, makes all the stress worth it. I Wanna Be the Guy is a platformer where the entire game is designed to kill you. Spike traps will drop suddenly from off-screen, while many platforms will be invisible until you land on them.
It can only be completed through learning by rote, making it phenomenally challenging. It later transpired that this was because of a bug that set UFO's difficulty to beginner, no matter what difficulty mode was selected, but the damage was done. Terror from the Deep is a PC classic, but its gruelling two-part missions and strong enemies curse ye, lobstermen make it rock solid.
This classic CRPG strips almost all of the exploration, dialogue, and questing out of Baldur's Gate, instead focusing on dungeons and combat. There's still a lot of great role-playing here, and some beautiful world-building. Dorn's Deep is incredible. But most of the game is spent fighting hordes of monsters, wizards, yetis, and other winter-themed badness. The original, however, was an uncompromising special forces simulation. With no cover to speak of, you were forced to inch your way across blank terrain, waiting to get your head shot off by a camouflaged sniper.
Achieving a high score in rhythm game Osu! It's no surprise FPS pros use it as a training tool while others vie for world records. If you think you have godlike reflexes, you can download it here for free.
The game features countless sudden deaths, mistakes you won't know you've made until hours later, and a real-time clock adding pressure to everything you do. Honestly, it isn't much fun, but the classy neo-noir atmosphere and cutscenes starring acting legend Donald Sutherland make it worth a look.
Team Meat reduced the platformer to only its cruelest elements—buzzsaws, lasers, and insta-death drops into pits of upturned needles. In fact, I think the needles were new to the genre, a wince-worthy punchline to this infamous series of escalating challenges. Our system mustered a The game also sports sophisticated physics with CPU-taxing destructible environments. Here, our rig achieved a While it was largely playable, it did occasionally dip and reached a low of 28 frames per second.
The game uses a modified version of the Disrupt engine, which we saw in the first Watch Dogs, and renders a pretty realistic rendition of San Francisco. With everything maxed out, Watch Dogs 2 offers vast draw distances, vibrant colors, and realistic water effects. It often dipped into the choppy 20s, however. This makes it the first game in our list to go below the 30 average FPS threshold.
While Andromeda's face models may need improvement, its Frostbite 3 engine allows it to create intricately detailed worlds coupled with gorgeous lighting effects. While you can certainly get Andromeda to run well on modest systems, it can really push high-end PCs to their limits if you crank all the settings up at 4K. While our Our rig achieved a Our performance did hit some brick walls, however, with it dipping as low as one frame per second. While Crysis 3 is the oldest game on our list, like the original, it was designed to be graphically future-proof.
The CryEngine 3 pushes a ton of particle effects, complex physics, and a lot of tessellation. The game also serves up very high-resolution textures, which can eat up a lot of video RAM.
When we cranked up all the graphical bells and whistles at 4K and played through the opening minutes of the game, we got a 23 FPS average.
Ark: Survival Evolved is the only early access game on our list, so its performance is highly subject to change with potential optimizations. Having said that, the Unreal Engine 4-powered open-world game offers large and lush landscapes with great draw distances. The game also has realistic water effects, crisp textures, and lush vegetation with lots of geometry.
Cranking everything to the max and playing the opening minutes of the campaign, the game broke into our top five with a choppy When Metro first burst onto the scenes, it took the crown for most graphically demanding game. The Witcher 2, for instance, came in at 19, in part due to its permadeath mode and first boss. Civilization V on Diety difficulty, too. In the survey, I asked which difficulty setting based on four generic settings the takers were most likely to choose when starting a new game.
The distribution is about as I expected: almost no one takes the easy route, the most people When asked to tell us the worst thing they've done to express frustration with a game, plenty said that they don't react physically—they curse, uninstall the game, go outside, or do other healthy-sounding things.
A calm and wise king is Matt. And apparently, a lot of us need to. The word "broke" came up times and "smash" was included in over responses. Banana peels came up an awful lot, too. Here are a few examples:.
I chucked my keyboard at my brick wall. It dragged the desktop with it. It corrupted my hard drive, broke my keyboard and most functions on the case didn't work properly. I once got so frustrated while just trying to get fuel up to my ship [in Kerbal Space Program] that was trying to get to Mun that I decided to fly all my rockets into Kerbol the sun.
Once every single one was burned to ash, and all the crew with it, I deleted the save and went to bed. It was only after I woke up that I realized what I had done. To say the least, I cried.
