Honorable mentions: The Legend of Oasis/Story of Thor 2, Pandemonium!, Blue Seed That's an extra-ordinarily easy game mate! Eh, I find it very hard to figure out where to go a lot of the time, and at several points you're expected to make leaps of faith, i.e. jump to a platform you can't see, which takes not only skill, but a considerable amount of guts and a good dose of luck. The puzzles also require you to use your spirit abilities in unexpected ways; it's been a while since I've played the game, but I don't remember seeing even one domino puzzle. Finally, combat is unusually complicated, making it hard to get a firm handle on the controls. This is not a problem with most enemies, but there are a few toughies in there, and the respawning can wear you down. I had a heck of a time beating the final boss. Hope that explains it!

I agree some of the puzzles are abit wanky, but apart from that I thought there wasn't much of a challenge

Putting aside those games which are insanely difficult due to poor controls, glitches, and/or disproportionately long stretches with no save point... The Horde. You start with very little to work with, and even if it weren't for the titular enemies, this would not be an easy simulation game. As it is, just keeping over half your properties from being gobbled up in a single season can leave you in a pool of your own sweat. For a while you can't spare cash on defenses, so you're left with Chauncey to fend them off, and drawing a balance between slashing through hordlings as quick as you can and not making Chauncey go dizzy from overexertion is tough. To top it off, your earnings are cumulative, which means it's hard to tell if you're doing well enough to make it through the game. I have yet to make it past the second area. Crystal Dynamics games are very challenging as a rule, but for me that's the toughest. Honorable mentions: The Legend of Oasis/Story of Thor 2, Pandemonium!, Blue Seed I thought Story of Thor 2 wasn't too bad! However now that I've got back into it I'm having trouble looking for one of the keys?
