The Best Switch Games of 2021

Points follow position: pts = 101 − rank on each list. The Review Rank Score is a game’s total divided by the number of lists surveyed (8), so missing a list counts as zero — consensus beats a single high placement. Ties break by list appearances, then best single position. Positions were captured to each list’s published depth shown below; games released outside 2021 that appeared inside longer eligibility windows keep their slot on the source list but are excluded here. Platform membership follows RAWG’s platform tags for each game’s matched release — the games from 2021 playable on Switch today, so later ports count and last-gen-only versions don’t. The Switch edition spans the Switch family, including Switch 2.
