It&#39;s not uncommon to think the Nintendo Switch is a system specifically designed with families in mind. That&#39;s not necessarily untrue, but it&rsquo;s wrong to assume the console doesn&#39;t feature incredible games adults of all ages can enjoy. That&#39;s why we&#39;re ranking the best Switch games made for adults. How many have you played?

Believe it or not, you can head over to Mars and go to war with the denizens of Hell as they try to take over the planet in Doom, a remake/sequel of the classic first-person shooter from the &#39;90s.&nbsp;If you&#39;re not partial to wasting demons, you can always fire up The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is the latest title in the Legend of Zelda franchise available exclusively on the Switch and Nintendo Wii. The game features an immersive quest on a massive landscape you can explore for hours - or months - on end.

Other titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus are, in no way, appropriate for kids, but that doesn&#39;t mean&nbsp;adult&nbsp;can&#39;t find hours of enjoyment playing them!
