CUPHEAD
Recommended Videos
Many consider Cuphead to be the hardest game of 2017, and there’s a few obvious reasons as to why. For one, the boss battles are intense and chaotic, like an old school arcade shooter but with some unique variables. Couple that with some inch perfect jumping requirements and you’ll soon find yourself playing levels over and over and over and over.
But besides all the death, there’s a lot to love about Cuphead, especially when it comes to its musical score, its very old school animations, and that amazing sense of satisfaction when you finally pull off a win in the later levels. Plus, unlike most of the games on this list, you can bring a friend along to share in the constant frustration. Joy!
