Darkest dungeon does it well. Nothing is unbeatable, but the odds are stacked against you and the stress mechanic snowballs things pretty hard.

Last dungeon I ran, I had to decide whether to try to save an irrational team member and risk stressing everyone else out, or let him die of a heart attack to salvage the others.

Leads to a lot of "This is insane, I shouldn't be here" moments.
