1. The final level of The Simpsons Hit and Run where you're bringing radioactive waste in Grandpa's Jeep.
2. Aladdin, the lava level.
3. Labyrinth Zone in Sonic 1 for Genesis
4. That f*cking Crash Bandicoot High Road wooden bridge level
5. The Lion King game where you have to run from the wildebeest. I never made it past that as a kid.
6. Ecco the Dolphin. As a whole. As a child, I had no idea what the f*ck I was supposed to do. I’m in my thirties and that sh*t still pisses me off.
7. Steering the boat inside the volcano in Super Mario Sunshine. That's some bullsh*t.
8. Spyro 2 Ripto's Rage: the trolley in Breeze Harbor. Every time you fail, the annoying bird asks, "trouble with the trolley, eh?" I hate that bird and the rest of that level.
9. The nightmare blood trail level in Max Payne
10. That f*cking Skyrim quest where you had to find all 24 gem fragments of this jewel
11. Deepnest in Hollow Knight. Don't get me wrong, it's a very well-designed level, just f*ck that place. If you played the game, you 1000% understand. It's creepy as sh*t.
12. Super Mario Galaxy. The two levels where you have to throw bombs to clean up garbage in thirty seconds. It took me two years to get through those two levels, only to find out that I had to do it again as Luigi.
13. Trying to climb out of Hades in the original God of War.
14. The level in the Force Unleashed where you have to pull the Star Destroyer down and you're getting shot by TIE Fighters the whole time. F*ck that
15. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES - the water levels with the electric seaweed. Underwater maze level with limited air and you can’t touch any of the walls
16. The library on Halo 1. Looking back it was amazing, but holy sh*t, the first time playing it (especially on legendary) was like a 2-hour job getting lost and dying
17. The RC helicopter mission in GTA Vice City...on PC.
18. Literally any level that you have to "escort" someone through and protect them from damage.
19. Honestly, screw Stardew Valley’s “Journey Of The Prairie King”. That entire Minigame is hell. Took me a ton of hours to beat it, and I don’t even want to imagine the no-death challenge. Very relieving once I finished it though for the first time.
20. Recently played Uncharted 1. That jet ski level upstream can go f*ck itself. Such clunky controls FFS.
21. F*ck the Kelp Forest level in Battle for Bikini Bottom
22. The flying levels in Spyro the Dragon. They can fly right out the godd*mn window for all I care.
23. Little Big Planet. The Wilderness. The level before you fight The Collector. Normally, this level is fun, UNTIL YOU HAVE TO ACE IT! Not dying in the level was irritating, because the second to final obstacle was a giant electrified wheel that would kill you instantly if you touched any of the electrical parts
24. That mission in Kingdom Come: Deliverance where you have to infiltrate the Cuman base. It’s so godd*mn annoying because if you get found out, you basically get swarmed instantly, and it is so hard to not get discovered.
25. The subway part in The Last of Us. That, and the high school. I played both of those levels on max difficulty, and they can die in a fire for all I care.
