AS 2023 gears up to be the biggest post-2020 year in video games, with a great start in the recently released Dead Space remake, here are some of the games considered by many to be the hardest contemporary games across PC and consoles.
Darkest Dungeon
Darkest Dungeon is a grim side-scrolling dungeon crawler that assigns players with a pre-assembled team of adventurers.
Each of the dungeon is procedurally-generated and filled with a number of traps and unique items to discover, as well as being rife with enemies.
Progressing through the dungeons causes the torch that players are equipped with to burn out. The dimmer it gets, the weaker the group becomes, and the weaker they become, the less of a good time this adventure will become as gameplay will shift towards being advantageous for the myriad of enemies and beasts lurking the darker confines of the dungeons.
Darkest Dungeon balances the risk-to-reward perfectly; the deeper players go, the higher the risk of everyone in the party dying becomes, but the reward is valuable treasure.
