For me, the most difficult video game I have played is Doom Eternal, it is a devilishly difficult game where there are too many enemies at once and in general it is total chaos, everything is filled with enemies and explosions everywhere, I have played other difficult games but this one takes the cake

I guess it depends on how you define "difficult," since it means different things in different genres. I'd say that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was maybe the most difficult game I've played in terms of puzzle solving, but there are any number of bullet-hell shmups that have made me just go, "nope, I've got no chance."

When referring to difficult, I mean difficult to complete more than anything, but you can see it from your point of view, since each person defines it how they want.

I've played games that aren't meant to be finished, so technically those would be the most difficult! But the most difficult game that I think I've played is the highest difficulty level of Civilization V.

I've heard about that game but I've never played it, what's so complicated about it?

It's a turn based strategy game, so you're trying to build cities, produce military units, research new technologies, and many other things. At the higher difficulty levels the AI is already pretty good at doing those things on it's own, but it also gets some large bonuses that enables other civilizations to outpace you by quite a bit unless you really know what you're doing. Even then, getting a bad starting location or researching the wrong technology early in the game often means you lose badly.

Not sure but a couple years ago I played Sonic Forces with my son and we breezed through the entire game in 2 days but then it took 2 days to beat the final boss. I wouldn't say the hardest game, it was actually one of the easiest overall, but that is probably the first time it took as long to beat the final boss as it took to complete the entire rest of the game.

I remember playing video games where I spent weeks to beat the final boss, like in the Nightmare Before Christmas on Game Boy Advance hahaha.

Dark Souls I & II, never finished II. I also used to play this as a kid and I never finished Crypt of the Necrodancer as Aria.
