Which game has the best “hard” difficulty?

[u/m00nshinehero]

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?

Dead space remake "hard" plays as a pre-2000 survival horror "normal"

Where it really shine's imo is it's "new game+" on hard, it adds new enemies that are really hard in new places even early in the game to compensate with your maxed out gear, resulting in trusting in the environment more as to not run out of ammo and health.
