Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is notorious among JRPG fans for being one of the hardest games in the genre, and it's easy to see why. The game's punishing combat and lack of hand-holding make it a daunting challenge for even the most experienced JRPG fans. It's an unforgiving experience with a level of difficulty that's only matched by other Shin Megami Tensei games. However, while the game may seem overwhelming or downright unfair to first-time players, Nocturne's intense difficulty makes it one of the best JRPGs of all time.
