Now the outbreak of coronavirus has not yet subsided, so we must pay attention to controlling the outgoing. At this time, one of the best choice for relaxation is to play game at home. If you stay at home for a long time, how about challenging hard games? Here are recommendations of 8 high difficulty games.
1. Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
Platform: PS4 / Xbox one / PC
Date of sale: March 22, 2019
Developer: From software
This game has caused a huge topic and discussion in 2019. Players will play the one armed Ninja in the game, aiming to save the Royal son they serve, and fight against the generals and monsters who block the way. In addition to the high-quality picture performance and the harmony world outlook that only Japanese developers can shape, the biggest feature of this game is the super difficulty. The basic play method of the game is to attack the enemy with a knife, and rebound the enemy's moves at the right time. If "bounce back" fails, it will suffer great damage, but on the contrary, a successful bounce will create more output opportunities.
2. Nioh 2
Platform: PS4
Sale date: March 12, 2020
Developer: Koei Tecmo
In the previous Nioh game, many weapons, such as swords, spears, sticks, axes and so on, have been preserved, and the light and swift action system of samurai style has been preserved. Because the protagonist's movements are very agile, although it is easy to avoid attacks, it will also suffer a lot of damage after being attacked. In this game, we add "monster technique" and "demonization". The monster skill allows players to directly use the enemy's moves, while the monster skill allows players to turn themselves into monsters and release powerful attacks, similar to the kill skill. Nion 2 supports online cooperative play mode of up to 3 people.

Date of sale: January 19, 2016
Developer: Red Hook Studios
This is a roguelike fantasy RPG with dark world view as its feature. Players can lead their own teams to explore various dungeon mazes. The biggest feature of the game is that the characters in the team will have the concept of "pressure". Various factors, such as fighting with the enemy, their satiety, the brightness of the dungeon and so on, will make the characters accumulate pressure. If you have too much pressure on yourself, the character will suffer from mental illness and cannot follow the player's operation. This game is such a kind of RPG, which needs to bear the role of disobedience while trying to relieve the pressure and explore the dungeons repeatedly.
6. Cuphead
Platform: NS / Xbox one / PC
Offering date: September 29, 2017
Developer: StudioMDHR
Cuphead is a kind of action shooting game, which is inspired by cartoon animation in 1930s. The most attractive part of this game is the characters depicted by the smooth hand drawn animation and the lovely world view of jazz BGM full of strong rhythm. But it has to be said that the difficulty of the game is not cute at all.
7. La-Mulana 2
Platform: NS / PS4 / Xbox one / PC
Sale date: July 31, 2018
Developer: Nigoro
Players will play the former heroine's daughter, samurai, to explore the remains of Igorana, where there are various mysteries. However, the action system is very simple, but players are still easy to be taken away by the incoming enemies. In the face of a huge boss, it is difficult to defeat them without finding out their attack rules. The biggest feature of this game is the difficulty of solving riddles!
