The best Nintendo Switch games for adults

If you’re checking out any list of the best Switch games, there will be no shortage of games aimed at kids. That isn’t to say these aren’t great games for players of all ages, but sometimes older games want a game that feels a little more mature and less like a party game. Just because Nintendo likes to focus on games for all ages doesn’t mean the entire console is lacking games for adults, though.

The best indie games on Switch, for example, aren’t afraid to push some boundaries. Whether it’s a stellar single-player title or one of the best multiplayer games on Switch, we’ll help you find the best games on the console for adults.

Bayonetta 3

80% Platforms Nintendo Switch Genre Hack and slash/Beat 'em up Developer PlatinumGames Publisher Nintendo Release October 28, 2022 <div data-cloudcity="" data-type=«button» data-pid=«1vfAQ5WWyU» data-limit=«2» data-cta_pattern="$%price %merchant" id=«dtcc-1vfAQ5WWyU»> Ready for a good hack and slash? Bayonetta 3 is the perfect game to get your hands into the meat of what the Switch can offer. Right from the jump, you know that this game is not for kids.

Bayonetta is a hell-bringing witch who will shoot, whip, slice, and burn any angel, demon, or other monstrosity that stands in the way of her goal. The game can come off as campy because her weapons, style, and movements can be a bit over the top, but it’s a fun game that’s sure to bring you hours of entertainment. Bayonetta can slow down time to stop attacks and inflict Torture Attacks on her enemies to get more bang for her buck.

It’s no wonder it’s not a children’s game. The Switch offers both Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 as well, but it doesn’t really matter where you start. This game is definitely for a more mature audience.
