Hardest video game of 2022 confirmed in new study

A study has revealed the hardest video game of 2022 is Immortality, ranking slightly higher than hit game Elden Ring.

Elden Ring recently won the coveted Game of the Year at the Game Awards 2022. The game, which was partly written by George R. R. Martin, can be daunting to players due to it's difficulty, but research from FindMyCasino has revealed that it is not the hardest game released this year.

Immortality, which won Best Narrative at the Game Awards, was found to have more cheat code views per player than Elden Ring, meaning it was ranked as the most difficult game. However, Elden Ring won out in terms of total number of cheat code views, amassing a huge six million views.

The easiest games of those analysed are The Stanley Parable (ultra-deluxe) and Tunic, both with just 0.01 cheat code views per player. This 98% fewer cheat code views than Immortality (0.63 per player) in first place.
