As the title implies, I’ve never been a skilled gamer, and many of the games I play out to be downright punishing for me. I love sites like HowLongToBeat.com but was always shocked that there wasn’t a similar site for game difficulties, so I decided to create one :D
There aren’t a ton of ratings at the moment: a very small number from testing, and a handful from some of my close friends that have added some. The website will thrive the more game difficulty ratings are added, so if the site is interesting to you, please add some ratings yourself!
It also has a rankings page to find the most difficult and easiest games, with custom filters for release year, genre, platform, and keywords. Let me know if there are any bugs/issues, or features you’d like to see!
Note, the site is completely free, ad-free, and doesn’t even have a “buy-me-a-coffee”/patreon link. It’s free. Enjoy it! (and no, I’m not collecting data to sell. I wouldn’t even know how to begin to do that.)
FAQ:
Rating is subjective. How do you handle that?
That’s the whole point of aggregate sites! Rather than rely on one dude/dudette’s opinion on some random subreddit, you see what the average of many gamer’s experiences is. And while one person’s “difficult” may be another person’s “easy”, the two gamers should still rate games relative to one another in the same way (e.g. Game A will be more difficult than Game B for both of them, even if one gamer thinks they’re both easy)
How do you account for different difficulty modes?
Choose the difficulty mode when you rate! While the main rating score averages all ratings together, a game’s page shows you it’s per-difficulty mode stats (including a breakdown showing all the votes)/
There can be a lot of reasons a game is difficult. How do you handle that?
You can add tags to each game from a pre-defined list of tags. I’ll refine these terms over time.
