Monster Hunter Dos! It's so fun to play an old ps2 game with online fan servers. For a Monster Hunter game, it's HARD. You start with no armor, no money, and have to earn everything by the skin of your teeth. Even the smallest wildlife poses a real threat, crabs zoom across the map to singlehandedly harass you while gathering mushrooms.

Luckily, there's a whole community out there to assist. Online hubs are full of people happy to help you out and tell you how to survive. You begin to have an actual safety net, a single loss isn't sending you into poverty. You start to feel competent, and even confident in your hunting skills. Then a Diablos pounds you into the earth & reminds you why this game is known for being difficult.
