Boss battles are perhaps the most crucial parts of most games. You've taken down all the underlings, and now it's time to face the big, bad leader. They come in all shapes and sizes - some are easy, some are tough, others are fun to battle, but there are plenty who will drive you insane as well. Well, that is usually the case with most games, but other tell QUITE a different story...
Many games are packed with boss fights, but it's only a rare selection of them that will have a single boss fight to their name and absolutely nothing else. These are what I like to call, "Lonely Bosses".

In this episode of Boss Analysis, I shall be studying these rarities in the gaming world and learn how they tick: Are they meticulously crafted masterpieces, born from singular focus?
