"Hades"
is one of the most versatile games in recent years.
This is mainly due to the mixture of action game and so-called "roguelike".
Each run is different, as the order of the enemies and the game world are generated randomly each time.
"Hades" is not an in-house title from Nintendo, but it is great to play on the Switch console and is therefore definitely recommended to everyone.

In
contrast to the colorful Nintendo games,
“Dark Souls”
is not only much darker, but also much, much more difficult.
The extremely challenging level of difficulty is what distinguishes the "Souls" series - therefore the game is aimed more at adults and experienced players.
"Dark Souls Remastered" was released in 2018 and for the first time for the Nintendo Switch.

Monster Hunter Rise

"Monster Hunter Rise"
is a slightly toned-down "Monster Hunter" experience that adds new mechanics and thus creates fresh experiences for newbies and series veterans alike. As the title suggests, "Monster Hunt Rise" is about hunting monsters and collecting resources. These in turn improve armor and weapons so that you can take on even bigger monsters. The Switch had to make some sacrifices in terms of the complexity of the fights and the difficulty level, but at its core, Monster Hunter Rise is just as satisfying and addicting as the other parts. The game is currently available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, but will also be released for PC at a later date.
