The Void is one of the few non-meme difficult games out there. There is no difficulty in terms of execution, but it requires really, really good understanding of simple mechanics as well as very good strategy. It is the kind of game where you can quite literally paint (heh) yourself into a corner 30 minutes in and not realize until several hours later.

More specifically, playing as Juggernaut.

Literally 3 buttons is all you need to play him well

Civ games are notable to me because once I do "master" an installment it's always much less fun then the first few hours. Especially in 5 (haven't played 6) when there's pretty much one way to get through early game on higher difficulties.

God Hand, though the gap from good to master isnt as large as the game from shit to good

>>386985395

Street Fighter
Smash Bros
Any competitive FPS

Most decent competitive/tournament viable games are easy to pick up or at least understand but very hard to actually be considered a master of.

>nonsensical extra button press to deny
Please play an actual well designed easy to learn hard to master game, you'll be doing yourself a huge favor when you realize how cockamamie mobas are in terms of design.

Fantasy Strike is going exactly for this.

A free weekend is on right now, try it if you have any inkling towards fighting games.

Older FGs aren't great about it, but Soul Calibur 1 and 2 stand out as really accessible.

Most sports games.

Unironically ARMS.
No 78 hit combo(max combo is 2+super), incredibly simple commands but pretty deep combat once you're in.

People say it's simple to learn but really you spend your first 50 hours missing the ball

>>386991753
The physics take some getting used to but it's your team that really makes the game difficult

Dive Kick is actually pretty good for OP's purposes as well.

>>386985395
That's an impossible chess setup.

>>386993089
>white starts with pawn
>black starts with knight
>white moves same pawn another time
>knight comes back on his place
It doesn't have to make sense, but it's possible.

>>386993089
it actually isnt, black would just have to move his horse back and forth

>>386993089
black could have just moved knight back and forth, and pawn may or may not have moved 2 on first move

>>386993410
>>386993419
Ahh shit I'm retarded.

>>386985395
>Pawn at e5
>No black pieces moved
Either the designer is retarded or the players are due to Knight shenanigans

Any good NES game.

Path of Exile.

Fighting games, especially slower ones like Street Fighter
Counter Strike

I love PoE but it's not hard to master at all. You just get gradually better at dodging stuff over time.

But isn't that easy? It functions similar to WipEout 3.

Is this just a platformer game? Looks like a shooter.

Tetris.

Playing against 5 other players on Tetrisfriends.com is just pure crack.

>>386989451
This level and the last level of one of the branches (it was stormy and at the end you have to go a really long way without stopping) gave me a really hard time, but they were satisfying when I beat them. Didn't bother trying to do all the optional shit, I was just happy to reach all the endings.

How does Super compare?

>>386999581
It's a platformer, but there is shooting. Some levels are full of enemies, some don't have any.

>this guy exists

Duelyst.

Platforming fag here.

Singleplayer and simple, but Super Meat Boy and the DKC games, especially if you're going for 100% (or further in the case of Donkey Kong). Admittedly, collectibles that are more intuition based instead of skill add to the percentages, but the games more than make up for that in Warp Zones and Lost World/Temple levels, respectively.

Spelunky is also this to an extent, although more of it is based on knowledge of the game. That being said, consistently getting to Olmec and beyond takes a lot of work and fundamental skill.

If you're at all into RTS, the Men of War series has one of the highest skill caps out there, and one of the most satisfying learning curves in vidya.
