I’m a sucker for a good boss fight. I used to jump into old games I’ve played and finished long ago, just to see if I have the save file from just before a certain boss fight. To me, a good boss fight can be the perfect climax to a tense storyline, or sometimes you just want to mindlessly blast some big strong baddie into oblivion. But, not these guys, oh no my friend; these shifty, tough little buggers were the bane of my existence, some for several days at a time. Whether forcing players to play in a way previously not needed, having a unique pattern of attack, or just being balls to the wall difficult, these are the five hardest bosses I’ve ever had to face. Spoilers for Cave Story, Undertale and Dead Rising 2 ahead.
