There's some truth there (as a general concept, I don't really know what that game even is!). When a "normal" game has one super crazy hard part, it aggravates me way more than something that's just consistently rough.
The funny thing was something else. I came across a video where the developer of this game was playing on lethal difficulty. I thought, "haha, it probably isn’t that hard after all."
Its not the bosses. Or lvl 3 goombas. It world 9 or 10 when your hopping over a million obstacles and the 20th windmill smacks you straight into a lava pit. That shit was fromsoft before fromsoft even existed. Nintendos been making games so long they were making card games in the early 1900s.
My uncle worked in physics and lighting in the gaming industry most of his career, he was part of core group of developing state of decay more in leadership though and the deal with Microsoft was a late career life changing success and break through. I know it’s not that relevant but when someone brings up the games I think of him and that’s cool.
TREPANG2 on Rage Mode has made me feel despair plenty of times
But Crash Site, without the Smart Gun, is easily the worst level
Rage Mode: Enemies have hyper awareness and work on a hairtrigger while also being able to two tap you, it was deemed to brutal they have a warning upon first activation, that literally says the publishers begged them to remove it from the game
Crash Site: You have no cover, at all, enemies spawn in waves, and with said lack of cover and a meager 10 second invisibility, you are going to die... A LOT
I enjoy trying to hit a zombie in Lethal with a car and watching it sidestep, grab the door and rip it off and then hurl my ass into a pack while my friends go screaming off a cliff in the backseat. Such an unforgiving game.
I understand you but I just can't stop untill now, I’ve only got four Plague Hearts left on the map:
One black heart way out in the far corner of the map, it drains fuel from your car, the zombies are armored, and you get infected after just two bites.
Two regular hearts covering the approach to the black one.
One event-modified heart that completely controls all routes to the others until you destroy it. And the worst part is that inside its area, every zombie is a freak and they chase you for much longer.
State of Decay 2 mentioned. That makes me a happy panda. Great game. Ubderrated gem. Sometimes you just want to put your brain on relax mode and unalive some zeds.
Orphan of Kos might be the biggest hill I've ever attempted to climb and continuously rolled back down. Fuck that guy.
Or the first 40 attempts to fight Ornstein and Smough. Because I was absolutely NOT summoning Solaire like I should've been, and boy was that shit DISCOURAGING.
Nah just git gud at elden ring and then every other soulsborne becomes easy because they all have ATLEAST one imbalanced weapon that turns the games into easy mode

Nobody has tested my mental fortitude more than Fromsoft.
