Many games hold well-deserved reputations for being difficult, but which ones do players need the most assistance with?

Gamblingdeals.com sought to find out by scouring the internet to discover which games are the hardest and most time consuming to complete. Using SEMrush they analysed search volumes for terms such as ‘[game] final boss’ and ‘[game] solution’ to uncover which one gamers find the hardest to complete. *

Which Games Are Hardest to Complete?

After analysing data from Germany, Canada, France, USA and UK, Gamblingdeals.com can reveal that Red Dead Redemption 2 is the game that players need the most assistance with.

It receives 36,540 online searches each month from gamers trying to discover how to complete, beat and understand the ending. On average, completionists of this game spend 164 hours trying to finish the main story and extras!

In second place is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Each month there are 32,370 searches from gamers trying to figure out how to complete the game and beat Calamity Ganon, the final boss.

Breath of the Wild takes an estimated 186 hours to finish, and although it was released in 2017, it appears that many are still struggling to reach the end.

Ranking as the third hardest game to complete is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, receiving 31,870 searches per month from gamers who wish to reach the end and bring Alduin to his demise. In total, taking an estimated 229 hours to complete the game, so there’s no surprise it ranks highly!

Following in fourth, fifth and sixth are Halo (26,300 monthly searches), Grand Theft Auto V (20,630 monthly searches) and Dark Souls III (19,850 monthly searches).

  2. Using search analytics tool SEMrush, they looked at the number of searches made from gamers looking for shortcuts or tips on how to complete the game. To do this they looked at the search volumes for each game alongside different words. The words they included are as follows: final boss, complete, ending, beat, final mission, final level, and solution*. For example, one search analysed includes ‘Skyrim final boss’. 

  3. When analysing search volumes for non-English speaking countries, the English and translated word were both analysed. For example, the search volumes for ‘Red Dead Redemption lösung’ and ‘Red Dead Redemption solution’ were added together to get the final number for Germany. 

  4. They looked at the number of searches made from the UK, USA, Germany, Canada and France as these are the top five North American and European countries that generate the highest gaming revenue, according to https://newzoo.com/insights/rankings/top-10-countries-by-game-revenues/

Starburst Galaxy Ushers in NetEnt’s New Era

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Starburst Galaxy, a sequel to the iconic Starburst that reshaped the online slot market, is propelling veteran NetEnt to new heights. The game takes players on a cosmic journey and launches NetEnt into the next phase of its evolution.

As players blast off into a stellar adventure with this dazzling sequel, NetEnt enters a new era. The revolutionary developer’s Phase 1 brought online slots to desktops without cumbersome downloads and allowed players to trial games through free play. Phase 2 brought players’ favourite slots to their mobile screens so they could play anytime, anywhere. Now, Starburst Galaxy stands as a testament to NetEnt’s new Phase 3, where many new features and mechanics await players.

Starburst Galaxy builds on the success of its predecessor, embracing NetEnt’s signature Avalanche™ mechanic, where winning symbols vanish, allowing new ones to fall into place and creating opportunities for consecutive wins from a single spin. Adding to the excitement, the new Feature Generator lets each win contribute to unlocking five dynamic features: symbol destroy, random wilds, expanding wilds, line transform, and symbol upgrade.

The Galaxy Star feature introduces a thrilling twist with an expansive 7×7 grid and a dazzling 3×3 Starburst Wild that activates additional wilds and unique features. Landing three scatters fires up the Mega Star feature, summoning a 2×2 Starburst Wild and introducing powerful multipliers throughout the round, while a retrigger remains possible by refilling the Galaxy Metre with each win.

An exciting new addition introduced in Starburst Galaxy, the Elevate Feature will be rolled out across all NetEnt slots moving forward. Elevate gives players the power to customise their gameplay by activating various game features and add-ons directly from a list, using base bet multipliers to enhance the experience. (The availability of the Elevate Feature varies by region.)

The new era of NetEnt will also feature upgrades across its product offerings, including new robust multi-level jackpots and more big wins through the GigaMath Model. Classic games will receive visual and UX enhancements, and new Speed Spins and Super Speed Spins options will allow players to play at their own pace. Additionally, operators can customise their own Starburst slot with the introduction of Starburst Brandable.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said: “This is a defining moment for NetEnt as we enter a new era with the launch of Starburst Galaxy. The game introduces innovative features, stunning visuals, and advanced technology while honouring the iconic classic that transformed the online video slot market. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s hard work—from the enhanced gameplay to the refreshed brand design, which marks another milestone and a new direction in NetEnt’s evolution. We’re excited for players to experience Starburst Galaxy, and this is only the beginning of what’s to come.”
