Hardest game ever runner

His deep dives into the speedrunning history of certain games are incredibly well researched and are a must watch for anybody with even a passing interest in the topic. As his videos go to show though, some games are considerably harder to speedrun than others; either because of the need for frame-perfect inputs or the ridiculous amount of time that it can take to complete a single run.

Despite these daunting challenges though, there are still plenty of gamers crazy enough to give it a try. The Lion King was designed to be incredibly difficult to complete. Not because the team behind the game were sadistic or anything, but because they wanted to encourage players to buy the game rather than just rent it. It's a strategy that seems to have served them well too, with the game thought to have sold more than four million copies during its lifetime.

This was helped somewhat by the game releasing for both the Genesis and the SNES, although the two versions are a little different. In the Genesis version, the second level is notoriously difficult, featuring both puzzle and platforming elements that will leave lesser players weeping and tearing out their hair. Of course, this hasn't stopped people from speedrunning the title and the current record holder was able to complete it in just 12 minutes and 19 seconds.

Cloudberry Kingdom is a platformer that released for the PlayStation 3 back in and features hundreds of different levels. There are plenty of people who have tried and failed to complete the game on YouTube even with the help of guides. Then, there are the people who can speedrun it.

The enemies are tricky to beat with very specific patterns and the controls can be a little hard to grasp as well.

As a result, it can take players a few hours just to really get the hang of the game, let alone beat. Many people give up when they reach the first boss, and yet there are people out there who can breeze through the entire game in well under an hour. Doom is probably one of the most popular and influential FPS games of all time and has been ported to just about every console under the sun. With that in mind, it should come as little surprise that it's also a firm favorite of speedrunners, with plenty of people trying to claim the record over the years.

It's hard to imagine how many hours it takes to become good enough at the game to achieve the kind of times that some of them do, but one suspects that it probably requires hundreds of hours of practice.

Either way, the best time for completing all four of Ultimate Doom 's episodes on UV Speed is sub 20 minutes. Thanks to its simple yet well realized mechanics, indie platformer Spelunky is incredibly popular with fans of the roguelike genre.

It's for this reason that the game is also popular with the speedrunning community.

That, and the fact that the game can be completed in under two minutes. Many games require frame perfect inputs and a deep understanding of their mechanics in order to speedrun competitively. Outlast , on the other hand, instead derives much of its difficulty by demanding that players remain constantly alert to the environment around them; with just a temporary lapse in concentration all that's require to end a run. Thankfully, this kind of focus is something that many speedrunners have in abundance , allowing them to tear through the game's main campaign in superhuman speeds.

Cuphead is perhaps the most difficult run-and-gun game out there. The controls and concept may be simple , but the game itself is anything but. This was helped somewhat by the game releasing for both the Genesis and the SNES, although the two versions are a little different. In the Genesis version, the second level is notoriously difficult, featuring both puzzle and platforming elements that will leave lesser players weeping and tearing out their hair.

The Super Mario series should be another difficult one to complete quickly, yet a search for Mario speedruns on YouTube would suggest otherwise. Many people have now mastered speedrunning the games; a task that might have seemed impossible some two decades ago..
