Sonne certainly knew how to challenge
gamers if the lineup for the original
playstation was any indication maybe
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 hardest PlayStation 1 games step
aside or I will have to kill you for
this list we’re taking a look at the
many titles that graced the Sony
PlayStation console highlighting those
that are truly the most challenging and
difficult by design
voodoo magic and all huh I don’t touch
the stuff myself unfair or unbalanced
difficulty is out of the question
our focus is strictly on games that were
built to be tough without being
impossible to beat he knows I’m tight
faqad thing you can turn is off huh
number 10
odd world Abe’s Oddysee Abe’s Oddysee
focuses on the titular Abe a slave at a
meat processing plant who sets out to
rescue his fellow Americans from a grim
corporate plot
the game’s delicately balanced mix of
side-scrolling platforms puzzles and
light strategy elements would be plenty
for players to contend with but it does
take steps to further ensure careful
play from Abe’s one-hit deaths to a set
number of muttaqun that need to be saved
for a good ending to even a checkpoint
centric save system everything is built
for challenge and caution number 9
Grand Theft Auto 4 game about stealing
cars and causing mayhem it’s
surprisingly keen on testing ones limits
ported to the PlayStation 1 in 1998
Grand Theft Auto puts players in a
top-down open-world setting where the
goal is to attain points by engaging in
all sorts of criminal activities however
stealing cars and killing
indiscriminately is not as easy as it
seems the game places a limit on your
lives and your character dies after one
hit
topped off by the rarity of powerful
weapons and a deliberate lack of
mid-level saving it’s clear that this
original isn’t shy about its intent
abrete darius guided ah the classic
challenge of a shoot-’em-up Darius
Gaiden has players flying the starship
SilverHawk through a series of scrolling
levels attempting to destroy enemy ships
while dodging obstacles
silverhawks journey as per the jean of
choice is made harder by said enemies
flooding on to screen in multiple groups
at once making for hectic action the
constant movement of SilverHawk coupled
with unyielding streams of projectiles
means that dodging and split-second
maneuvering is key here
number seven fear effect being afraid as
the title suggests would be a relatively
appropriate reaction I don’t know what
you’re talking about
lawman sir developed by Kronos digital
entertainment fear effect serves as a
merging of polygon arrow horror elements
and tactical action into a singular
experience I sign on this gig for one
reason right the money I’ll still get it
it has you switching between three
mercenaries on a mission to Hong Kong
dealing with sudden firefights and
environmental puzzles and punishing you
for anything less than pitch perfect
reflexes and problem-solving
what constables Oh what whose
recklessness is detrimental here as the
game demands precision and caution with
every step
number six Metal Gear Solid this is one
heck of a sneaking mission that’s for
sure
okay I’m ready to go Hideo Kojima’s
beloved 1998 game Metal Gear Solid
pushed gaming forward with its Hollywood
inspired cinematography high-quality
voice acting and sense of atmosphere it
also reinforced the hardest elements of
the stealth action genre to great effect
by dropping the elite soldier Solid
Snake into a complex riddled with
security cameras and highly perceptive
darts I can’t just knock on the door and
ask them to let me in add to that the
secret death traps and bosses that
require careful strategy to beat and the
difficulty inherent to Metal Gear Solid
should not be in question 6 Tim hey at
least you’ll never forget the main
character’s name what’s wrong snake
number 5 heart of darkness
into the depths of danger we go this
cinematic platformer telling the tale of
a young boy venturing to an alien realm
to save his dog embodies the age-old
ideal of trial and error gameplay each
sequence in which the kid hero and II
must overcome natural hazards and defeat
living shadows is designed to be
completed in a specific manner on threat
of instant death fortunately the game
offered unlimited lives so it is
possible to learn the patterns and
techniques necessary to push forward
number 4 – Raider 3
Lara Croft’s third outing doesn’t lack
for challenge that much is clear are you
alright
well if you don’t stop I might be just
fine the 3d action-adventure game Tomb
Raider 3 relies on save crystals rare
collectible items sparsely scattered
throughout levels that limit the number
of times you can save your perception of
good timing is bad this makes the
typical mix of firefights puzzle solving
and tomb exploration all the more
difficult as the game has no shortage of
lethal traps combative humans and animal
bones topped off by a steep learning
curve that comes into play real early on
Tomb Raider 3 is nothing short of a test
of your ability yeah number three tenchu
stealth assassins with only 10 levels
this game effortlessly proves to be hard
that good get to play do set in feudal
Japan stealth assassins is an action
game where the player controls one of
two ninjas conducting dangerous night
missions tread carefully the player is
given a grappling hook and unlimited
tries for each mission before being left
with little exposition to determine how
to progress how convenient of you to
come here I have orders to kill you thus
the game is built around trial and error
with the added threat of losing items
upon death reinforcing the need to
choose one’s inventory carefully and
learn quickly
number two Rayman yeah colorful lively
and undeniably tough this is the legacy
of Rayman a side-scrolling platformer
developed by Ubisoft it’s fantastical
visuals and vibrant color scheme give
way to a classically built platforming
experience many level in Rayman is heavy
on length and light on checkpoints to
add to the challenge the titular Rayman
has a limited number of lives and
everything from giant insects to musical
notes are deadly to the touch then
there’s the matter of the 102 elect toon
cages needed for completion which are
invisible until their triggers are found
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one Alondra much-loved from the
outset this playstation action
role-playing game delivers in many
respects including rewarding hardship
Alondra features platforming segments
from time to time that by design ask the
player to adapt to the game’s isometric
perspective and plan jumps accordingly
there’s also the matter of its puzzles
built around very subtle solutions that
reinforce the theme of exploration
little details can be easily missed and
valuable items lost meaning players must
constantly be on alert and pay very
close attention it can be brutal at
times but it’s worth the effort to
succeed
do you agree with our list I hope your
death is a lesson to others
what do you think are the hardest games
for the PlayStation 4 more easygoing top
10s published every day be sure to
