Game rant

Though these Nintendo Switch games are easy at first glance, they're some of the hardest video games to fully complete.

Super Mario 3D World isn’t the only Mario game on Switch to present the player with a massive challenge at the end of it all, as Super Mario Odyssey also does it. However, all this builds to Champion’s Road, a level that can only be accessed with full completion of every other level in the game, contains no Assist Mode and can take up to five minutes to complete, all without a single checkpoint. For Splatoon 2, however, this takes a turn in the Octo Expansion DLC, which seems specifically designed to take all the skills the base game’s campaign teaches the players and push them to their limits. Mario games are the epitome of “easy to learn, hard to master”. [Breath of the Wild](https://gamerant.com/nintendo-switch-games-similar-zelda-breath-wild/) is the kind of game that leaves the player to their own devices. Tropical Freeze, originally for the Wii U and ported to the Switch, is no exception to this. Even its single-player campaigns are essentially extended tutorials for figuring out its mechanics that gently guide players most of the way. The Switch sequel adds a few mechanics and locations but ultimately, it’s still a relaxing game where the player can take in the sights and see what Pokemon are hiding in the bushes. All of this while trying to collect well-hidden puzzle pieces and Kong letters that can be easily missed. It can be as challenging or as easy as the player chooses, as the map of Hyrule stretches out before them as soon as they open the game. Nintendo is seemingly the master of this, as all these first-party titles show their gentle side upfront, but then show no mercy for anyone trying to do everything possible. The Switch has a vast library of games suitable for tastes of any kind.
