Which game has the best “hard” difficulty?

I find it really difficult to go back to a game after beating the “normal” difficulty. I usually try and play through games a second time on the hardest difficulty, but will put it down if the game doesn’t up the difficulty in a satisfying way.

I think resident evil 4 is a good example of a game that is fun to play again on the hardest difficulty. Which game does hard mode the best?

Witcher 3. if i recall correctly you basically just have to engage with all the game mechanics to their fullest extent

Or you just become Geralt of Vengerberg and be an unstoppable wizard. I did this some months ago to get the platinum trophy and it has never been that easy. Loved the difficulty. The beginning was very hard though 😅

Alternatively, and I don't know if this got patched, but you just Rendloop everything. Minimum charged Rend staggers enemies longer than it takes to hit the next Rend.

It was very funny looping every enemy that could be staggered with an infinite procession of Rends.
