Suggest me some good and hard to play games. I'm looking some tough games to play and with good storyline graphics should be also good but the difficulty level should be high so comment down and suggest me some games to play.
What's the hardest game have you ever played?

What kind of game?
Assuming we are talking 3d action games, the hardest ones Ive played in the last few years would probably be Sekiro and Returnal.
Turn based strategy games, I'll say Battle Brothers is hard to get a handle on.
If youre into 2d games, then I hear Celeste is hard. Personally I really liked Hollow Knight and found it really tough but that might be partly me being bad at platformers.

Vanquish
It's an older title, and while the gameplay isn't terribly difficult when you get the mechanics down, it's still fast-paced and the challenges at the end have some great replay value. The challenges especially require you to be on your toes pretty much at all times. Challenge 6 in particular is difficult. The game was originally released on console, which I played on PS3 and hands down was the most difficult of my Platinum games. Even after memorizing the stages of Challenge 6, the gameplay is dynamic enough that if you mess up just thismuch, it's pretty much a wipe.

The hardest for me was FirePro Wrestling - I couldn't even get through the tutorial!! It doesn't have a story, though, and graphics are looooow!
Several iso RPGs can be hard at high difficulty settings. Divinity: Original Sin 2 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous jump to mind. Graphics are great for that sort of game, but I'm guessing that isn't what you meant.
Dark Souls games, obviously, though I still haven't played any.
I don't know any game with a great story and really high difficulty off hand, though. I think game makers that know they have a good story don't want to frustrate players to the point where they won't see the story.
Oh, don't forget about mods! This is PC gaming, after all. The "Long War" mods for the two new XCOM games give you more tools but make the game a lot more difficult. Roguetech makes BattleTech a lot harder.

Civilization 4
Civilization 4 is the toughest of the last 3 they say, and of course has the best stories of all, those you make up yourself, rather than spoon-fed clichés. Check out the Hall of Fame here for the cream from thousands of entries:
The Civ IV S&T Story Database
Hello everybody, as it appears that SouthernKing won't update the current Civ IV Stories and Tales Central, I've decided to start a database to more quickly find stories. All you have to do is fill out the form and I'll put it in the post. I ask that you do update your story's status if it...

The graphics are fine unless you need razzmatazz, it's from 2005 after all. Play it on Deity level, large Continents map.
C&C Generals ZH
Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour—the Generals' Challenge mode on Brutal difficulty is a nice tough set-to, took me a summer to beat them all.
I like the graphics, but of course that's subjective to every individual—we're talking 2003. The story is standard game quality and there isn't the same background as the other C&C series—it's all about the gameplay.
Royal Envoy
Royal Envoy 1 Collector's Edition is the hardest of the series. The graphics are stylized and therefore timeless, and getting 3 stars on every level at Expert level will test you—you need 3 stars at Normal level first before Expert opens up.
Story is basic but does its job of not getting in the way of very enjoyable play.

Man of Medan meets all those requirements, but it's a co-op game. Maybe one of The Evil Within games would work. They are much harder than the Resident Evil games.
V Rising on Brutal difficulty is near impossible, and the graphics are great. The story is all lore, though. But it has so much atmosphere that it feels like there's a great story, if that makes sense.
Dying Light 1 and 2 have pretty interesting stories and can be difficult.
Hades can be difficult, and you have a story of sorts when you talk to all the people in between runs.

All Doom games on nightmare. If you like retro play ghosts and goblins or ghouls ´n ghosts.
You're making me dust the old memory bank. I don't think I've ever played a game that was hard from start to finish, but rather certains sections of games that became increasingly difficult. That trophy would go to Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Or heck, maybe even Pac-Man World on the Sega Genesis.
The Commandos series. I never finished the first game, and that was back when I had the summers to sit playing and studying German behavior patterns.
I would say Elden Ring but I don't usually play punishing games.
Oh yeah, forgot about those—probably still in denial
Very tough, very excellent games.
Obviously you should be playing Doki Doki Literature Club:
- Tough to play
- Good storyline
- Graphics also good

X-Com: UFO Defense and X-Com: Terror from the Deep.
So many good squadmates lost.

Certainly! "Dark Souls" is renowned for its challenging gameplay, where every encounter can be deadly and requires precise timing, strategy, and patience to overcome. The game features punishing difficulty, intricate level design, and tough enemies and bosses that demand skillful play and perseverance from the player. It's earned a reputation for being one of the most difficult games in the modern gaming era.
