How good is the study actually?
As interesting and surprising as the result may be, as with previous studies of this kind, the question arises, how meaningful the chosen criteria are, to determine the most difficult boss enemies. In our opinion, the number of searches only allows a limited meaningful answer to this question. A particularly popular game inevitably has a larger audience behind it and therefore also a larger potential for search queries.
