Games Where You Start Overpowered — And Enemies Scale to Fight Back

Usually, games start with you being relatively weak. But every now and then, a game flips that idea on its head – you begin incredibly powerful. As you play, the game world reacts to your strength, trying to challenge you or at least make things more difficult. Here are a few examples of games that do just that.
