What is How Difficult Is It?

How Difficult Is It is a community-driven platform where players rate the difficulty of video games. It helps players understand how challenging a game is before they play it by aggregating ratings from many players into a more balanced overall difficulty score.

How are game difficulty ratings calculated?

Each game's difficulty score is based on player-submitted ratings. Users rate difficulty on a scale from 1 to 10, and the site aggregates those ratings into a single average score. As more ratings are added, the score becomes more accurate and stable.

Who can submit a rating?

Anyone can submit a rating, but ratings should reflect actual gameplay experience. Users are expected to rate honestly and avoid spam, abuse, or manipulation.

What counts as a valid game entry?

A valid game entry must be a real, released video game with a unique identity and basic metadata such as title, release year, platform, and genre. Duplicate, incomplete, or invalid entries may be removed.

Why does a game need at least 5 ratings to appear in rankings?

A game needs at least 5 ratings to appear in rankings to improve fairness and accuracy. This helps reduce the impact of biased or inaccurate individual ratings and prevents games from appearing in rankings based on too little data.

How can I search or filter games?

You can search for games by title or keywords and filter results by genre, platform, and release year. This makes it easier to find games that match your interests.

Can I compare difficulty by genre, platform, or year?

Yes. You can browse and compare game difficulty by genre, platform, and release year. This helps players explore questions such as which RPGs are the hardest or which recent games are the most difficult.

How do I report a bad or missing entry?

If you find an incorrect, duplicate, or missing game entry, you can report it through the site's reporting or contact method. You can also flag suspicious or misleading ratings.

Are difficulty ratings subjective?

Yes. Difficulty is inherently subjective and can vary from player to player. However, by combining many player ratings, the site aims to reflect a broader community consensus.

Do updates or patches affect difficulty ratings?

Yes. Game updates and patches can make a game easier or harder over time. Ratings reflect player experiences at the time they were submitted, so a game's score may evolve as more players contribute updated ratings.

Can I update my rating?

If the site allows rating updates, you can update your rating if your opinion changes after more playtime. If rating updates are not supported, the site's rating policy will explain the current behavior.

A website to rate the difficulty of your favorite games... or your most frustrating.
