Dwarf fortress, E.Y.E and lunatic touhou are always mentioned

Is E.Y.E really that hardcore of a game?

Dominions 4 is pretty autism-intensive, Tetris requires superhuman skill on Master difficulty settings,

It depends though whether you're talking about RNG difficulty, difficulty in terms of dedication, complexity, or reflex skill required

For instance Dwarf Fortress doesn't need that much reflex skill, it's just hardcore in the sense that it takes a lot of dedication to figure out how shit works

meanwhile tetris is pretty intuitive but to play at high difficulty it takes a fuckload of dedication with the timing you need

So i'm not sure where I'm going with my post but lots of things can be considered "hardcore" when played at a high level against people, so you might wanna limit your thread to single player hardcore games

Aurora and other spreadsheet simulators?

Dark Souls desu

Is that a shark?

It's not. It's Serious Sam made by Deus Ex fanboys. Still a cool game, though.

Renaming all of the common words used in RPGs does not make your game complex and deep, just confusing.

No it's a barely finished random ass indie shooter.
Neckbears only pretend to like it because it's overly convoluted.

DCS modules are pretty hardcore
I just now managed to land the A-10C succesfully for the first time and it felt good

But then comes the realization that I need to be able to do it perfectly maybe multiple times in a mission, with varying weight and wind directions.

yeah though you can hardly call that a game anymore though but still I would let it count
