Game News “1500 hours […]I haven’t even finished the tutorial yet”: Forget FromSoftware (Elden Ring), here is the studio that makes the most difficult video games in the world
If you think Elden Ring is currently the most difficult video game in the world, think again! Yes, the FromSoftware studio finally has a major competitor!
FromSoftware or Paradox Interactive: Who Makes the Hardest Games?
FromSoftware and Paradox Interactive do not play in the same court: the first delights with Action-RPGs, while the second offers strategy games. But if the two studios offer very different formulas, they still have one thing in common: the difficulty! Indeed, whether FromSoftware (Elden Ring, Dark Souls) or Paradox Interactive (Stellaris, Crusader Kings III), both offer productions that require a lot of patience and investment.
But today we realize that Paradox Interactive’s games are even more difficult, quite simply because they make themselves much less accessible to the general public. Some players on Twitter also indicate with a lot of humor that they understand nothing of Paradox Interactive’s games.
I installed and uninstalled Hearts of Iron 4 more than four times because I just didn’t understand anything.
I stare at the map for like 30 minutes before realizing, “Ah, but I’m supposed to play here.”
Still others complain of having spent more than 1500 hours on a Paradox Interactive game without even having managed to pass the tutorial.
Paradox Interactive doesn’t need detractors to mock it
Well aware of developing games that are intended for a limited audience, the Swedish studio Paradox Interactive does not hesitate to show self-mockery on Twitter.

In Sweden, people make games, but they’re just cards. No one knows how to play them and people watch them change color for hours.
How many games have you completed from start to finish?
It is complicated…
As you can see, the studio regularly has fun making fun of its own games with almost infinite lifespans or sometimes incomprehensible mechanics. ‘However, Paradox Interactive’s titles are far from being bad games, and if you have a long weekend ahead of you, we can only advise you to linger on Stellaris, a game to which we gave a score of 16/20, or on Crusader Kings III which, for its part, had a score of 17 out of 20.
