      The 3d Ninja Gaiden games (not the NES ones). They are unfairly hard, in the sense that they don’t really teach you how to play them before throwing you at massive problems. There are the people who find (or are told/shown) various cheese strats and thus say the game is easy (“git gud, scrub!”) but without using degenerate strats the game is nigh-impossible. I’ve heard it likened to bringing a brand new player to a fighting game tournament and making their first match against a mid-tier opponent— there’s literally no chance of victory.
