What is the hardest video game(s) in your opinion, why, and what other games are you comparing against to make this conclusion?
Forgot what made me think about this topic but I've been considering this for a week or two... Curious what you all think.
When I mean "hardest" "video game", I mean whatever game that you find objectively more difficult than all other ones on the market, as long as it's a video game. I guess exposure to different genres/types of games can influence the answer to this question a lot so... Hence I was curious about your rationale.
I have a pretty solid answer & rationale but I guess I shouldn't share that in the main post to bias results...

Mushihimesama Futari was the hardest game I've ever played, and this is coming from someone who enjoys playing Touhou on Lunatic Mode. My god, the bullets, the sheer amount of bullets! I felt so proud of myself when I finally beat this boss.
Okay that quickly went from "I think I can do this with some practice" to "what the actual fuck" to me... congrats on clearing the game
I haven't touched classical bullet hell games since high school so... guess I should give them a try!
How does Touhou on Normal look to you?
I've really only played Touhou in middle/high school... Imperishable Night was actually a really formative game for me, loved the OST and played quite a bit out of it. Fairly sure I've cleared this particular one on Easy, might have made to Stage 5/6 on Normal... Definitely didn't clear Scarlet Devil on Normal because my motor skills were terrible back then
I should be able to clear Normal/Hard now that I'm older and more skilled. If I have the patience/time that is...
Edit: apparently I forgot how to do math and got the game release numbers wrong
That's awesome! Loved Imperishable Night too, I played it so much along with Perfect Cherry Blossom and Subterranean Animism. As for Embodiment of Scarlet Devil it's generally considered one of the harder games of the series
Ketsui or DOJ are up there too but futari is rediculous.
