Nintendo Switch does not have a shortage of games. There are numerous different types of games on this console, and every game offers an exciting experience.

But many buyers weigh a game’s value not by the amount of fun that it offers, but by numbers. They count how many hours they get for $60, and that’s fair. Everyone wants full value for the money they spent. So keeping that aspect in mind, here are the top 5 Nintendo Switch games that can offer you hundreds of hours of fun!

It is so expansive and full of secrets that people with hundreds of hours of playtime still find new things in this game.

Dark Souls

This is the only From Software that can be found on Nintendo Switch, and just like any other souls-like, this one offers hundreds of hours of fun! What’s even better is that you can co-op on the go, defeating numerous Dark Souls bosses while on a bus is nothing short of a miracle.

The game runs beautifully at a flawless 30fps on this system, which is a decent enough price to pay for portability.

Monster Hunter: Rise

The core gameplay loop of Monster Hunter games is pretty simple and straightforward. You hunt monsters, you skin them, and you build new weapons and armor. Then you go out, find a more powerful monster, you hunt that, you skin it, and build better equipment.

This might sound repetitive, but the variety of weapons and monsters gives players enough reasons to continue doing the same. Customizable load-outs, mixing and matching armor pieces, trying out different weapons.

It’s the ultimate hunting sim for those who love the idea of hunting mammoth beats.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim is a curious game. The moment players start walking in this game they start getting distracted. You would be asked to steal something and deliver it to the person who gave you that contract, and you would see a gem, you pick it up and it would instantly start a new quest.

And this is not a bad thing at all. Players find themselves saying “I would continue this quest later” or “Oh! I wonder what’s in that cave?” all the time. And the amount of time these things take is unfathomable because they never end, players always find something new in Skyrim.

This game starts with players inheriting a farm, a farm that their grandfather gives them before passing away. They take it and build it and make it their own. Plant trees, fruits, and vegetables, and make your own orchards. This game would let you do all of that.

And once you have your business sorted, craft machines and equipment that do your job automatically, such as watering plants and making mayonnaise for you. It all sounds so weird, but the amount of things players can do in this game is uncountable.
