In this part of the video, Falcon discusses video games that are extremely challenging and may not be suitable for casual players. He starts with “Escape from Tarkov,” a hardcore multiplayer extraction shooter known for its unforgiving difficulty and complex systems. The game lacks tutorials, has convoluted controls, and features brutal AI opponents. Players often find themselves lost and easily defeated, making it a tough experience for beginners. Falcon suggests avoiding this game if you’re inexperienced or looking for a less punishing gaming experience. He then briefly touches on “Ghostrunner,” comparing it to “Hotline Miami” in first-person. This game requires quick reflexes and muscle memory, with death occurring from just a single hit, making it difficult for even seasoned FPS players.

In this segment of the video, the speaker contrasts “Hotline Miami” and “Ghostrunner,” highlighting how “Hotline Miami” allows for more strategic planning due to its top-down view, whereas “Ghostrunner” demands quick reflexes and trial-and-error because of its first-person perspective. The added complexity of “Ghostrunner” makes it challenging and potentially frustrating, demanding a lot from players who may struggle with its difficult mechanics. The shift then focuses on “Rocket League,” emphasizing its steep learning curve and highly competitive community. New players find it tough to keep up due to the game’s complexity and the high expectations from experienced players. Achieving proficiency requires dedicated practice and understanding of advanced maneuvers, making it daunting for beginners.

In this part of the video, the narrator discusses the game “Spelunky 2,” emphasizing its extreme difficulty level compared to the first game. Despite its cute platformer appearance, “Spelunky 2” is described as a brutal test of endurance filled with traps and unpredictable deaths, making it suitable only for experienced players. The game’s design, which includes no autosaves or checkpoints, resets progress upon death, creating a challenging experience that can be frustrating for new or less skilled players. Moving on, the video addresses “Rainbow Six Siege,” highlighting its complexity and unique mechanics. Unlike traditional shooters, this game involves strategic sieges where attacks can come from any direction, requiring deep understanding of operators’ abilities and strong teamwork. The challenging gameplay makes it unfriendly to newcomers who approach it like a typical shooter.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of precision and game mechanics understanding in “Rainbow Six Siege,” emphasizing that poor accuracy results in a lack of enjoyment, as it’s a very technical first-person shooter game. Following this, they cover the extreme difficulty of “Ghosts ’n Goblins Resurrection,” noting how it surpasses the challenge of its NES predecessor by significantly increasing enemy and trap frequency from the very first level, making it one of the hardest games ever released by a major publisher. Lastly, “Sekiro” is highlighted for its difficulty, where mastering parries and counters is crucial for survival, with even the basic enemies posing a significant challenge to new players.

In this part of the video, the speaker emphasizes the importance of perseverance and pattern recognition in the game “Sekiro.” They explain that players need to observe enemies and time counterattacks precisely to succeed. Spamming the block command can lead to frustration, but proper parrying improves overall performance. The game is notably challenging and unforgiving for beginners, who should be prepared for repeated failures.
Transitioning to “League of Legends,” the speaker discusses the difficulty of excelling in Dota-like games. These games require broad knowledge of numerous characters, their mechanics, and counters. A bad player detrimentally impacts the entire team, making the experience potentially frustrating. The segment concludes with a brief mention of “Grand Poo World 3,” suggesting that even skilled players may struggle with its difficulty.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the extreme difficulty of Kaizo Mario games and “DoDonPachi DaiOuJou.” Kaizo games push the Mario game mechanics to their absolute limits, requiring nearly perfect play to progress due to their pixel-perfect jumps, counterintuitive tricks, and numerous troll traps. “DoDonPachi DaiOuJou” stands out as one of the most challenging shoot-em-ups, characterized by an overwhelming number of projectiles that create a near-impossible wall of death. The game’s Death Label mode took seven years for someone to beat, highlighting its extreme difficulty. Both types of games are designed for highly dedicated players, necessitating hundreds of hours of gameplay to make even small progress.
