Pain has long been a fundamental element of video games. It is used to inform the player how to act, and punish them for choosing incorrectly. When underutilized, a game becomes boring and overly simple. And yet, taken to the extreme, it can begin to feel unnecessary and… somewhat disturbing. Let us know some of your favorite games that hit the sweet spot of pain, and some that don’t get it quite right, in the comments below!
