There are many emotions that games aim to tap into in order to provide specific experiences for players, and one of the most powerful is frustration. However, using frustration as a mechanic can be pretty dangerous as it risks pushing folks away. This video looks at titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, Dark Souls, The Last Guardian and The Last of Us Part II to examine the ups and downs of including elements that will frustrate players.
