    The legendary difficulty Overwatch achievements are quite up there as well, especially that one that asks you to do it without anyone in your team going down.

    I have 6:

    Spelunky
    Outlast 2
    Super Meat Boy
    Metal Slug 3
    Halo MCC
    Wolfenstien II

    And at least 2 more are in games on my to-do list.

    I don't feel like SMB should be here either, as I found it to be fairly easy.


    I also feel like there were other harder achievements I've done, like just beat Shadow Warrior on the hardest difficulty (17.5 TA Ratio):
    Shadow WarriorNo Ordinary WangThe No Ordinary Wang achievement in Shadow Warrior worth 1458 pointsComplete the game on difficulty Heroic


    Just beat Brutal AI a single time on Tumblestone (took like a month of practice because I swear this game was optimized for MnK, not controller):
    TumblestoneDreamcatcherThe Dreamcatcher achievement in Tumblestone worth 758 pointsWin a Battle match against 3 Nightmare bots.


    Or this pair from Lost Planet 2 which took months of grinding AND required you to achieve #1 on a time trial leaderboard (still a 22.2 TA Ratio and the game came out in 2010):

    Thanks. I love to challenge myself.


    Also, I know some people mentioned Ninja Gaiden 2 already, but I would argue that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge's Ultimate Ninja Trials were harder.

    I mean the list is good but is really lacking in hard racing games in general.
    I’d like to see that kind of list someday
    I PLAY TO HAVE FUN!!!! I do tend to play solo most of the time but always willing to play with others if they have time for that of course. TA ROCKS!!

    Essentially on the last move of your turn, hit start interrupting the move and save.

    reload that save and it will be your turn again, action points restored for all players, enemy skips their turn.

    The downside is that with the load / save times on XCOM 2 being so awful that it this method will slow down your game.

    Note that this exploit is detailed in the guides on here already as no doubt you've discovered :)
