I’m on a mission to beat 100 video games every year, and these are my top five boss fights from the games I beat in August. No. 5 is the dual headed Hydra from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. In another way, very easy RPG. This two headed bastard somehow managed to kill me 11 times before I defeated him. No. 4 is the eager in the swarmac from gears of War 4. I never died to these two, but the over the top action and figuring out how to beat them was still a hell of a good time. No. 3 is the wall from Balatro. It’s actually nothing more than a huge wind threshold to move on, but just barely beating it on my second attempt was my favorite moment of the whole game. Number two is the immortal from deathbound. Nobody’s talking about this awesome new souls like and this guy who downed me six times was one of the biggest reasons I’ll remember it fondly. And number one is the great Sage’s broken shell from Black Myth Wukong. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is easily my favorite boss of the whole year, and probably top five all time, taking me 25 attempts to finally bring him down. Next month we’ll have boss fights from Astrobot, Lollipop, Chainsaw, Funko Fusion, and much, much more.
