Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Higher difficulty modes make saving even more tedious

There are many simple challenges, such as watching all the videotapes, destroying all the Mr. Everywhere statues, and dodging enemy attacks using certain evasive tactics (such as crouching). Generally, Resident Evil 7 is a pretty simple game, but when it comes time to add the game's DLC packs and Madhouse mode, things start to get difficult. Aside from Madhouse being incredibly challenging, one of the DLC packs – End of Zoe – features a difficulty called “Joe Must Die”. Completing End of Zoe on this level will award the player the King of the Swamp trophy.

Not all video game-based series live up to the originals, but these did a good – or even excellent – job.
In Madhouse and Joe Must Die, players must find both cartridges to save their progress. So if they haven't saved up to a certain point, they have to start over from the last save. In the latter, areas will be littered with traps that will result in instant death if triggered. In Madhouse mode, the Mia boss fight is particularly grueling early in the game, as Ethan has to find all the available bullets and land perfect headshots to take her out.

Players can expect to invest at least 40-50 hours in the pursuit Black Water VirginIt's platinum, just as an estimate. It's not a game for anyone who doesn't want to grind all the time.

The one-shot trophy proves particularly difficult to obtain
