Not all games are mindless killing simulators, some of them actually require you to think. The titles on this list take this to the extreme and are designed to be as complicated as possible. Get ready for 6 games only the smartest gamers can beat!
1.
Kerbal Space Program
Rocket science is pretty complicated stuff so a game about building your own spaceship and launching it into space isn’t going to be a walk in the park. While it is fun to fail in this game you really do need to think like someone from
NASA if you want to see the outer edges of space. Making any real progress requires hours of experimentation and lots and lots of brainpower.
2.
Dwarf Fortress
Dwarf Fortress is widely considered to be THE most complex game ever made.
Don’t let its simple graphics fool you, there are so many systems at play it will make your head spin. The user made getting started guide for this world-building game is over two hundred pages alone. Attempting to get into Dwarf Fortress is a challenge few gamers dare to take on.
3.
The Talos Principle
Croatian developer Croteam is best known for creating the mindless slaughter fest that is
Serious Sam. They also developed one of the hardest puzzle games ever made with The Talos Principle. You have to solve a series of puzzle rooms that range from challenging to almost impossible. At least you can always fire up Serious Sam and let off some steam if you get frustrated by it all.
4. SpaceChem
SpaceChem is a puzzle game that is so hard it actually makes you feel physically tired when you're done playing. You have to create circuits and place upon each circuit certain commands to achieve a desired outcome. SpaceChem's difficulty quickly becomes intimidating as most players don’t even get past the first few minutes before giving up.
5.
The Witness
The Witness by
Jonathan Blow is one of the hardest games ever made. You wander around a beautifully rendered island to solve a bunch of maze puzzles. They start off simple but it doesn’t take long before things get really complicated. The game explains virtually nothing and everything in the world has meaning which is enough to make your brain hurt.
6. Hacknet
When a video game is almost as difficult as actual programming you have to wonder if you can still call it a game. Hacknet is a ‘hacking simulator’ in which you have to use real hacking tactics to solve the mysterious death of a famous hacker. This means staring at a black screen most of the time unless you know a bunch of complex code and are able to experiment with it.
Are you one of the smart few that beat any of the games on this list?
