10 Ridiculous and Frustrating Video Game Puzzles

Jo from GamersFTW writes: 'Everyone enjoys a good, challenging puzzle mixed in with the killing and other tasks in a game. However, there are some puzzles that really take the biscuit. They are either extremely hard to complete or the solution is so completely absurd that it takes you a really long time and many hours trawling the internet before you find out how to do it.'

Most of these solutions make me cringe with how difficult they are. I love Point and Click games but get so frustrated when the solution is something incredibly obtuse and, sometimes, just downright unfair. The last game on your list seems practically impossible without a walk-though, or at least a huge amount of patience.

Agree - it's a fine line between ball-achingly obscure and titillating challenge

games that do it well are when you solve it you finally go ok, that makes sense now that i think about it. the ones that fail are the ones that still puzzle you after you beat it.

Point and Clicks are always the biggest culprit for these kinds of evil puzzles

I love how retro these games are! That Silent Hill puzzle brings back memories...angry horrid memories!

I think some newer games either don't have the same amount of challenge perhaps, or developers aren't as mean!!

HRD_Games3111d ago

My god, Shadow of the Beast 2 sounds worse than Takeshi's Challenge!

Yukes3111d ago

I love a good puzzle as in the Talos Principle or Portal, but when it becomes really obscure it's a massive turnoff. Some of these are insane!

Sometimes you end up not returning to play the game, because its so frustrating.

Why Silent Hill Will Never Be the Same

Estelle Mejia says: Silent Hill, for those who don’t know, is a psychological horror survival series that has declined somewhat. Fans point to the fact that the original team who helmed Silent Hill 1-4, named Team Silent, has been split, either working on different games for Konami or leaving the company altogether. This has left the series without a consistent team to helm the series for about 20 years, give or take.

Remasters for the Classic Point and Click Discworld games "may happen", but it's up to the monarchy

From GameWatcher: "Between 1995 and 2000, three classic point-and-click games were released based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. These games are Discworld, Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?, and Discworld Noir.

For many years, fans have eagerly requested a rerelease or remaster of the series, making it a highly coveted item on GOG's Community Wishlist. This platform is renowned for revitalising classic DOS games, ensuring they can operate on modern machines."
