The Nintendo Switch's portability makes it ideal for gaming on the go, and many of its titles are designed for offline play. Despite the increasing reliance on online connectivity in modern gaming, offline, single-player experiences remain crucial. Access to high-speed internet shouldn't limit anyone's enjoyment of great games.

While online gaming has dominated the past decade, a robust library of offline, single-player games is essential for any console. This is especially true for the Switch, given its portability. Not everyone has access to reliable high-speed internet, and that shouldn't prevent access to excellent offline Switch games.
