What is the hardest offline PC video game, regardless of whether it was officially ported to PC, released within the last five years—in its official version or as a mod combination—among fully 3D video games with real-time combat focused on melee and close-range attacks, that is either the latest entry in its saga, the latest installment in a group of games set in the same universe, or the latest standalone video game not belonging to any saga or shared universe?

One game must be suitable for children up to age 11 according to the rating system of some country, while another must share the same characteristics but be rated suitable for people of all ages according to the rating system of some country.

Both games must be able to run on a PC with the following specifications: an Intel Core i7-8700 CPU, an RTX 3050 graphics card with 6 GB of VRAM, 24 GB of DDR4 RAM, an AeroCool Cylon 700 W power supply, and a 1 TB internal SATA III (6 Gb/s) HDD.

Would the answer remain the same for an otherwise identical PC equipped with a 256 GB internal SATA III (6 Gb/s) SSD?

Additionally, if one or both answers require mods, how do I install and configure them so that the games remain fully playable while maximizing their difficulty without making them unbeatable? If there are games that answer all or part of my questions and involve mod combinations, please tell me which video game each mod combination is for.

I want people to mention only commercial games or console games playable on PC—that is my final requirement. If the answer includes console games playable on PC, whether through a mod combination or in their original form, please explain how to play them on PC, along with the rest of the information I requested above.

I want people to mention the four AAAA games that best fit the answer to my question. If there are not four AAAA games that fit the answer, then provide a combination of AAAA and AAA games—four in total—that best fits my question.

If you saw my previous post, please take it into account. I will translate all my text uploads to the forum, as I did with this thread’s text uploads. If I do not do so, please ignore me in that case—I have not done anything unforgivable.

I have two RAM modules: one GeIL CL16-16-16 DDR4-2400 1200 MHz 8 GB RAM module and one Samsung M378A2K43DB1-CTD 1333 MHz 16 GB RAM module.

      It is necessary for me to write in another way because not doing so is very hard for me.

    Everyone’s comparison of what games are ‘hard but not unbeatable’ is going to be different, some of my buddies are Ultrakill speedrunners XD

    I mean, is it necessary for me to phrase my question differently in order to receive an answer? Doing so is very difficult for me, but if it is necessary to get an answer, I will do it.

      With respect, yes, you should phrase your question differently if you want a response.

      I read your post fully. At first because I was hoping to help. But in almost no time, I was reading simply because your writing is an interesting puzzle to try to solve.

      You’ve packed several separate clauses (requirements, criteria, extra side requests) in almost every sentence. You’ve phrased many of your sentences in ways that make them sound like demands. Your writing style indicates to me that you did not spend much/any time considering what your readers might be expecting or thinking while reading.

      And, as someone else has already pointed out, this style of writing truly seems like you think you’re writing for an AI audience. I can only speak for myself, but that really makes me uncomfortable. I won’t be offering any real suggestions about games because I feel uncomfortable. But I do want to offer this bit of assistance, just because you asked.

      It’s a wall of text that lists too many requirements to keep track of at once.

      Are you looking for hard souls-like games on PC? There’s a lot of good ones out there, but if you find them easy, it might be worth doing a challenge run (no damage, not allowed items or certain mechanics, etc). For example, I had a friend do a no-damage Sekiro run at max difficulty.
