Looking for incredibly difficult 2D platformers on Steam.

[76561198196433017]

When I say "incredibly difficult," I mean incredibly difficult, but fair too. Something along the lines of Super Meat Boy (or Wings of Vi, but it's not like too many people played that one).

Considering my ridiculous standards of difficulty, I've been disappointed a few times. In particular, people comparing Ori and the Blind Forest to Dark Souls comes to mind.

I've tried it. It's kind of hard to tell the difference between a game that's difficult, and one that a lot of people just say is difficult. I thought it would be more effective to ask directly.

Difficulty is pretty subjective, one thing that is difficult for one person could be beginner's level for another.

Give us an idea of what you want, like 80s hard or 00s hard?

Its possible, but very, very difficult.

It's kind of hard to describe. I want something fast-paced, where you don't have to deal with super-long death screens or incredibly scarce savepoints. That is, something like Super Meat Boy (or Wings of Vi). I also want something that's not incredibly forgiving, leaving little room for error and demanding perfection or near-perfection in each individual challenge, but giving you plenty of spots to take breaks. Like Super Meat Boy (or Wings of Vi).

So, I guess that could be categorized as 00s hard?

And something more along the lines of an actual 2D platformer, rather than a one-button game. I have played that one, but like most mobile games, it didn't really hold my attention.

Something a little less on the retro side, and more on the modern side. Retro graphics and music are fine, but not really something that's so focused on the retro-gameplay aspect.

And I just realized I am too damn picky.

Fuken casul ;p.

In all seriousness though, I got nothing then, sorry.

It's not really like Super Meat Boy, but Terrian Saga: KR-17 is pretty hard, imo at least.

This game has brawler controls and can be played skillfully but is pretty brutal if you try to button-mash.

Only two I can think of.
Edit: Not on steam, but Cat Planet is fun and definitely challenging.

Nintendo games are very hard. It's proven that modern day gamers can't handle games from the 80s. They gotta have GPS in the game you know? But it's just not that they need directions, it takes a lot of dexterity and quickness to play games like Ghouls n' Goblin and such.
