    Hellblade is such an important game to me. The lie of the "permadeath" I believed my first play through. The end fight being unwinnable didn't stop me from trying my hardest.

    What really got me about Hellblade, was when playing with headphones it gave me such a sense of anxiety playing throughout the game because I constantly heard her inner voices coming from every direction. I applaud Ninja Theory for making this game with spatial surround recording and having to consult real Psychologists and people who really suffer from that mental illness, just the whole process they went through to make this game feel authentic. Can't wait for the sequel, the gameplay trailer for Senua's Saga looked amazing!

      Yea and control along with hellblade are two of my most fav games .... The sound design in hellblade with the constant voices trying question or justify senuas decisions and her actions .... It's meant to be played with headphones..... It's stresses you out but also helps us understand what senua Is going through ..... It's been a while I've played both control and hellblade but I would totally once again experience playing them both ..... The final sequence the final battle is enough for me to get back to playing hellblade and I still remember the ashtray maze part from control encountering it for the first time with take control playing in the BG .... Man that has to be the most awesome I've had after completing a sequence..... Both games are masterpieces when it comes to sound design....

    I remember my first play through in RDR2 after the Hosea bear hunt I decided to hunt all of the reachable legendary animals at once. I got all the ones I could minus the Moose and Elk considering I could only carry one big pelt at a time, but on the way to the trapper I got ambushed by a Murfreesboro brood shotgun guy and died and I thought that I would lose all of those pelts. I didn't know that if you die with legendary pelts they are like automatically given to the trapper. Luckily I found this out before I restarted and had to play through that whole snow chapter lol. Needless to say for about 5 minutes I was freaking out.

It would randomly pretend to delete your save file while you try to save, make it look like the tv turned off, mute the volume, give you all kinds of ammo just to reveal it was a hallucination, suddenly make the character die or lose limbs etc. Really creative stuff.

    Similarly to Undertale (in the sense that it is an indie RPG), in the game OMORI there is a really infamous moment where the game "tricks" you in to cutting open your cat (in a fictional setting). It tortures you by making you repeatedly say "Yes" to the prompt. It does not give any indication that is not required, but it turns out that you can escape the situation via stabbing yourself (again, in the fictional setting). Ultimately you have to stab yourself to progress. So essentially, it's either you and the cat or just you. I know this sounds weird, but it makes more sense when you have the full context.

Trusting you dont try to leave through the appropriate doors you could get all the loot, quit, then reload, and loot it all again via the glitch, either for wanting to get more and more new guns or just as a quick cash grab if you're broke.

    The original StarCraft. The Protoss mission where you destroy a nexus in the center of the enemy encampment and then Aldaris says he has an entire legion to stop you. Then Zeratul shows up - but he’s ground based so without help the DT will be slaughtered. So you’re thinking: okay, have to restart. Nope, it’s the end of the mission.

    I had no idea about Hellblade that was a ruse. I played it and died like 3 times really early in the game, then I just quit playing because I didn’t want to sink 20+ hours just to die to some BS and lose all that time.
    I think I’m going to go back to it now.

      @@goodmanpatryk7155 I understand that. However, in reality, we have to balance our time playing games with the rest of our lives. I didn't see enough in the game to run the risk of losing all of my progress after committing time to learn the game and advance. It looks like a great game, which I never deleted. Now that I know progress won't be lost, I can give it another chance.

    Dragon Rot in Sekiro actually does have a worse effect than just disabling merchants.
    When you die, you lose half your money and xp, but there is a chance this won't happen with "unseen aid." The more dragon rot you have, the lower this chance becomes.

    I haven't played Hellblade, and the chances of me ever playing or low, but I wish I didn't know about that mechanic just in case I ever do play it. Having that stress I imagine is a huge part of the experience.

    the game that stressed me out by tricking me...though more my own was FFIV the final boss has an attack black hole that removes all bufs, BUT the way it was worded in origina, I thought it meant I couldn't cast any spells so tried to beat him without heals or such hehe.

    Number 9, i had a feeling with Mortal Kombat X having dynamic difficulties although you could decide to play it on easy/normal/hard. It was like i fight vs. some dude who stomps me down 2-0/2-0 the first few tries within seconds and after attempting the 3rd or 4th try he/she barely used his/her combos and special moves in such a well timed manner. I really got confused, and i can add that i really didn't got a lot better within this 10 minutes (played on normal).

    2 bonus examples are Hades (2018) which made popular "you died and lost progress but you can do next run stronger". Rust is hades-like every month reseting worlds but researchs are permanent. The second example is For the king (2017) which is a rpg like at first glance until you notice the chaos bar is doing funny things to your world (makes exemies stronger, etc). Some mobs can steal your money and some boss smelt an armor piece with acid. Not for casual gamers.

    I do not know the name of the game anymore, which is ashame. But I think 10-15 years ago there was a game on the iPhone which was a side scroller. You had to jump from big holes to get to the other end. If you failed, game was over and you were not aloud to try again. It was fun to speak with friend to which level you got, but it was stressfull :)

    Alien: Isolation did this, too, where there are multiple parts that contain no possible threat, yet ramp up the intensity of the music to max, trigger alien vent-crawling noises all over, and/or set off some blaring alarm.
    It doubles as a fake-out when you learn that in some of those scenarios, it is actually possible to face danger if certain conditions are met, so you might have learned that a particular event is safe only to be terrifyingly surprised on a subsequent playthrough.

    Anytime a game takes my gear and/or inventory. I think it was one of the Dragon Age games where you had to put all your gear in a chest. And of course, there was a bug where the game would fucking delete your gear so you might get soft-locked if you didn't have a previous save or have backup gear. I think one of the Witcher took your gear at one point too. I remember in Knights of the Old Republic, the water planet you went to had a sith base you had to infiltrate but if you didn't get certain evidence you could get locked into a point where the only dialogue option leads to you getting executed and ending your game. I was a kid so I only kept one save file so I had to replay the entire game. And it had taken me what felt like forever to finally get there because I didn't get understand how to effectively use the combat system.

    I always thought the Hellblade "permadeath" fake out was yet more insight into mental illnesses (maybe schizophrenia? I'm not sure): the paranoid certainty that doom is so close and visible, but the whole time it's just in your head.
