What is the hardest game you have ever beaten?

I don't do well with bullet hells, if it was more like every other fight in the game I wouldn't have felt so oppressed by it.
I don't remember there being any other encounters in the game that would help build up to the Radiance. Also I was about the same play time as you and I was SUPER ready for the game to be over lol
Dark Souls 3. Had more trouble with that game than Souls 1 and Sekiro, honestly.
It would probably be Celeste but I haven't finished it yet.
Edit: The top spot could also be Hollow Knight. I haven't done Godmaster, else that would likely easily take the win.

The end is nigh final moments are really insane indeed, it's probably up there on the hardest games i finished, no doubt.
Finished nes TMNT but on emulator with some save states, don't think it counts haha same with the La-Mulana games, where i used guides for some parts.
Arc Rise Fantasia is probably the hardest turn based rpg i finished. It made stuff like Nocturne feeling easy in comparison. But i also never finished a SaGa game, as it's a really difficulty series imo.
But in general, it's hard to think about something really that harder than The end is nigh, that i finished.
I really wanted to say Cave Story with the true final dungeon, but i can't beat it :'(

Zelda II, last summer.
AND I did it without using save states, a walkthrough, video tutorials, anything like that!

okay that second part is a lie
I guess Sekiro based on people's experiences here.
Or 100% completion of KH2 on Critical. Every secret boss, every optional challenge.

This is far more impressive than anyone here realizes. We tried this game on Veteran with 4 people and gave up
ibb and obb
it's a co-op game
and if you play it solo, you have to control two characters at once using both analog sticks on a gamepad to solve platforming puzzles that require precision and timing
the trophy for beating the game that way is called brain damage
it is the rarest trophy i have in my collection of thousands to this day, and i did that almost 7 years ago.
cuphead, celeste, darkest dungeon, sekiro ng+4 charmless with demon bell, bloodborne bl4, hollow knight 112%, god hand on hard mode, the last of us on grounded mode, furi on furier mode, metal gear rising on revengeance mode, the witness with all puzzles solved, fez with all puzzles solved
did all that and they don't compare to how much i had to split my brain to beat this relatively unknown small indie game once

Celeste. I thought the main campaign was tough but it was the B Sides and C Sides that were the real challenge. Once I got to the C Sides I actually felt lucky dying only over 100 times on some (Chapter 4 and 6) but I died over a thousand times to beat the Chapter 5 and 7 C Sides. Once I beat Chapter 7's C Side, I felt the best sense of gratification when finally getting through the final room. I almost blew it too by dashing off the cliff but dashed back to the cliff. Beating that C Side might be the hardest level I've ever beaten.
Thumper, although my rankings on the later stages rarely went above C
Slain: Back From Hell was quite challenging for me but manageable with some patience

There was another two very similar: Kalimba and I want to say Schizoid on Xbox 360, had a single player mode that you have to control two things at once, broke my brain
I intially thought about Bloodborne or The Binding Of Isaac with the lost (before he got the shield and became easier)
But I think it is Metal Slug 2 with less than 10 coins to play.

I Platinum'd all of Blast Corps on N64 back in the day.
Just as well that console was built sturdy because it sure took a beating.
Yeah, getting through an Ironman run is a great feeling.
The number of times you have to pick yourself back up after a mission gone horribly wrong; by the end of the game you're looking back and thinking "It's a miracle I didn't quit right then and there".

Bloodborne and Celeste are up there. Cuphead would be too but I actually haven't finished that one yet.
Bloodborne I got the platinum and beat all the bosses (other than optional Ludwig in the DLC) with no summoned help. Next would be Dark Souls 3. Beat all the bosses through the first dlc, but with a lot of summoning help. Dropped the second DLC early on and couldn't get into DS1 or 2 when I bought them cheap.
I was nearing my 40s at that point (41 now) and my patience and skill for hard games and games that require precise timing had just largely eroded. I'm gaming less and spending more time on books, movies and shows the older I get so I don't see going back to playing super hard games. Life is challenging enough, my hobbies need to be pretty chill.
Now if we go back to childhood, then several NES games I beat because I only got a few a year and had to play them probably take the crown. Battletoads is probably the hardest one I finished some how.

beating the hardcore mode in Dead Space 1/2 without any guides... stuff was more tougher than any souls game to me.
Had to micromanage and think 5 steps/encounters ahead

Ninja Gaiden Sigma but it was Ninja Dog mode
The last level of SM3DW with all 5 characters
SMG2 Final Level may still be my proudest achievement

I don't know, maybe castle in the darkness on hard?
I play almost all games on hard, and I beat the all the usual suspects. Recently GoW 2018 on GmGoW.
Valdis Story S rank on Godslayer?

Probably Demon's Souls or Halo: CE on legendary (solo)
Anything harder and I eventually stop because of boredom. Banging my head against the wall for hours just to beat a boss or w/e gets old and not very satisfying.
Like I could've beaten Sekiro if I didn't give up, but I didn't have fun progressing.

Viewpoint. I had to use an invincibility cheat to do it, though. For comparison, at my age when I beat that, I was able to get through 1942 and Metal Slug 2 on a single quarter. And I couldn't even beat the first level of Viewpoint.
Similar to that, Abadox. It takes second because, while I also needed to cheat, I could at least best a few levels before I had to.

Fuck, i had my share of challenge finishing Valdis Story on Normal, Godslayer is crazy lol
I'm planning to replay the game on hard eventually, but the time i tried Godslayer, i was dying in the first regular bigger demon most of the time :p
