Put it on Sniper Elite difficulty for some real fun, it's also co-op

i'd like to say Elden Ring... but it suffers a bit from what u've said

Well... there's only so many options for increasing difficulty.

If the A.I. already operates at the best the programmers can code? Increasing health and damage is all they can really do.

Stalker games you could headshot anything including all the beasts/creatures.

In fromsoft's case the capacity to code is barely functional

Can you still do it in the sequel? Avoided it since it's another ue5 slop

Xcom 1-2.
Enemy is a bit tougher but won't have stupidly large health pool. They just reduce dice advantage and smarter AI.

Metro games! They basically make harder difficulties harder but being more realistic. Everything needs less shots to kill, but so do you.

Some of the games in the KH series.

KH1 damage isn't too bad from what I recall but your damage gets buffed when you equip zero exp.
KH2: on the hardest difficulty(critical), you actually do more damage than normal (standard). There's also damage floors so you will always do a reasonable amount of damage relative to the enemy's strength. The critical damage modifier is 1.25x.
KH Birth By Sleep: damage output is infamously bad but if you equip the ability zero exp then your damage gets buffed to compensate (and it's a lot less balanced this time so you can do insane damage if you know how)
(next two are not in the linked collection)
0.2: like KH2, you do more damage compared to normal in this game. 1.5x this time.
3: you do do damage but only when you're in a different mode (keyblade forms), which is quick, easy, and happens often. Alternatively, you can use the mod that reworks the damage scaling so you don't need the forms if you don't want.

Easily the payday series but don't know what they're doing now in 3.
