    the only reason sekiro is no.1 is cuz of the final boss ishian that’s it. if it wasn’t for the final boss, it wouldn’t be no.1 cuz the game’s not consistantly hard through out, the enemies are a cake walk.

    personally bloodborne was more consistant wit it’s difficulty and it’s dlc alone is the hardest soulsborne has ever been wit the exception of ishian. but lvl designs, traps, enemies, ambushes, health loss and deaths, the old hunters was tougher than sekiro.

    Where’s Limbo?



  3. Sphere Of Fate on February 9, 2022 at 10:20 pm

    It pronounced demon’s soul’s (demon’s as in plural)



  4. Dane Lykins on February 9, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    I know it’s likely supposed to be pronounced "veeveeveeveeveevee" but I like to just call it vvvvvv like a hummming engine just because it’s funny lol



  5. P on February 9, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    i can’t even get past the first level of cuphead! and i’m an experienced gamer 😂😂



  6. Stephen Jacewicz on February 9, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    Can’t think of one here…. I will go with fighting Mirrak on a lower level in the Dragonborn DLC of Skyrim.



  7. Kenzo Uchiha on February 9, 2022 at 10:24 pm

    How about geometry dash?



  8. Bigster Man on February 9, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    Crash Bandicoot 4 it’s about time?



  9. CSW on February 9, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    It took me forever to beat Castlevania Lord of Shadows 1 & 2



  10. shadowrebel4 on February 9, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    No matter how many times i beat dark souls, O&S is the boss fight i die to the most in a run. They are a perfect duo boss.



  11. Savage God Hand 777 on February 9, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Saint Seiya Soldier’s Souls

  12. Phoenix Deut on February 9, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    You missed geometry dash. I think it’s the hardest of these all



  13. MrTheDarkKnightFan on February 9, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Jedi the fallen order gave me so much stress that I found Bloodborne & Dark Souls much more easy & enjoyable



  14. Calidad Musical on February 9, 2022 at 10:33 pm

    Cuphead is an masterpiece but is not an hard game, some ppl dont how play the game



  15. Dominic Cilli on February 9, 2022 at 10:33 pm

  20. SamTheMan on February 9, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    Cuphead is the only game I have ever beaten and I am very proud of that.



  21. Do The Dew on February 9, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    this list withouth mario maker super expert sucks…



  22. Éabha on February 9, 2022 at 10:40 pm

    getting over it is way harder than sekiro in sekiro you can die and respawn figuring out strategy and progress more easily in getting over there are no checkpoints, the games saves and remembers everything making it possible for you to be stuck with the bad ending (i.e. making the game permanently unplayable by going over a radio tower near the end of the game and not being able to get unstuck.) and should you fall down (which will happen… constantly) you have to go through hell just to get back up to where you were all while having to listen to the actual bastardo that is bennett foddy in the background either scolding you, playing horrible garbage music, or quote historical figures that actually did something important and overall just coming off like an elitist snob and a total jackass so because you put sekiro in the number 1 spot and getting over it with a few words for an introduction and nothing else I’M CALLING BULLSHIT on this whole list, giving your video a thumbs down and removing my subscription. cya later



  23. BIGOOF on February 9, 2022 at 10:41 pm

    Geometry Dash💀



  24. Elijah Guyer on February 9, 2022 at 10:42 pm

    Super ghouls and ghosts



  25. ForageGrassPause2GotoLoop on February 9, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    Kinda disappointed they took out the mechanic of certain characters not willing to party with other characters



  26. archipelagoose on February 9, 2022 at 10:43 pm

    Cuphead is way harder than any fromsoftware game for me lol.



  27. King Dice fan girl ❤️ on February 9, 2022 at 10:45 pm

    Cuphead



  28. Jon H on February 9, 2022 at 10:45 pm

    I 100% Sekiro shadows die twice. It’s one of my favorite games



  29. inder jeet on February 9, 2022 at 10:47 pm

    I can’t belive I’m saying this but I’ve finished getting over it in 8 minutes some seconds…..but the first time took me about 11 hours lol



  30. newgameaaaa on February 9, 2022 at 10:50 pm

    Please do an easiest video game list from each decade.



  31. Jeramiah Bush on February 9, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    What do you guys think of Undertale on this list?



  32. Rich Durand on February 9, 2022 at 10:51 pm

    I platinum from soft ware games and idk 🤷🏾‍♂️ personally after playing blood borne sikero was kinda cake! Great game not saying that but have you even tried to platinum dark souls two 🥲



  33. Larva Rewind on February 9, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    Hollow Knight should’ve been on this list or atleast an honorable mention



  34. Faye Calvin on February 9, 2022 at 10:53 pm

    Death’s Gambit should be here



  35. Eren Yeager on February 9, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    who’s here after Dark souls was crowned the Greatest game of all ime.



  36. Richie Rich on February 9, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    Cyber Shadow was grueling af



  37. nissandro manfred on February 9, 2022 at 10:58 pm

    I know a lady who doesn’t sleep well at night because of his son having nightmare from Dark souls bosses. That shit made me lmao



  38. MaddestMike on February 9, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    I don’t have the patience for these games.



  39. DubstepRifle on February 9, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    God of War is an absolute rage game and was the hardest game I ever played



  40. Dustin Kopperman on February 9, 2022 at 10:59 pm

    Cuphead and Dark Souls and Bloodborne are my favorite hardest good grief video games of the 2010s on the PS3 or on the PS4 on TV



  41. Gabriel Rivera on February 9, 2022 at 11:00 pm

    Sekiro? The hardest? Hmmm… I disagree. Cuphead caused me to rage way more than it should. I actually feel a sense of accomplishment from it. Another game that should’ve been mentioned, 2013’s Rogue Legacy. That 2D platformer was a blast to play but super difficult! You will die more times than you can count and everytime you do, you get new character with different abilities and the map can change unless you have the coin to prevent it, not to mention you gotta pay death a fee to re-enter the castle! That game really keeps you on your toes!



  42. Jared Wright on February 9, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    Dark souls ain’t even that hard. Much less harder than cup head and super meat boy



  43. Dream Guardian on February 9, 2022 at 11:03 pm

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is truly a hard game. I couldn’t even beat the first Ogre battle without dying so many times.



  44. Sphere Of Fate on February 9, 2022 at 11:04 pm

    How about mortal shell



  45. Shmluh on February 9, 2022 at 11:04 pm

    Cuphead is the hardest game I’ve ever played. I’ve beaten DS1+3 as well as Sekkro (gave up on Bloodborne years ago, next on my list) but sadly, the casino boss gauntlet in Cuphead will probably be where I give up



  46. Seiferboy Gaming on February 9, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    I haven’t played any of these, but I love the aesthetic of Cuphead, considering it looks like old school Mickey Mouse cartoons!



  47. TheebirdCSM13 on February 9, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    oh my goodness number 5… Cuphead its about to be two years and im still on this game… Check the agony this game has put me threw on thee channel…Ive never died so much in ah game…took me four months to defeat grimm matchsticks…



  48. Flunkass on February 9, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    5:23 What’s wrong with Grim Matchstick? Just use lobber + roundabout. Unless you’re doing a peashooter challenge or something. I struggle more with Beppi than with this boss



  49. aidanc669 on February 9, 2022 at 11:12 pm

    My son is proud. He has 200% on cuphead



  50. Joe DiNenno on February 9, 2022 at 11:12 pm

    Nioh can suck it man I never made it passed onryoki
