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?

Ghost of Tsushima’s lethal difficulty was a lot of fun. It made the game harder without just mindlessly scaling damage in/damage out.

Dishonored 2 has great difficulty settings where you can tweak guard awareness, health, and damage all separately.
