In honor of the release of Bloodborne, we're dedicating this week to some of history's most notoriously difficult games.

When the original Demon's Souls hit back in 2009 it was like a blast from the past. Sure games were hard, but this was on a whole other level. It was like being transported back to the 80s and 90s, when things were punishingly, overwhelmingly difficult just because they could be.

A cult of appreciation sprung up from around From Software's original title, and it only continued with its successors, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II, as well as Bloodborne. In addition to the legendary difficulty, the games' art style influenced a ton of cosplay designers who wished to bring a little of that darkness into the real world.
