What are your top 5 must play Switch Games?

As we approach the end of the Switch's life cycle, I was wondering what everyone's favourite Switch games are? The console has been home to some absolutely incredible games over the years and if I am honest I think it may actually be my favourite console I have ever owned.

I know top 5/10/20/100 lists are arbitrary to some, but I love knowing what games have defined a console for others. Only allowing 5 also makes everyone have to really consider their options because there's just no room for something you don't truly love. With that in mind I think my top 5 games (from worst to best) have to be:

5. Balatro

6. Super Smash Bros Ultimate

7. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

8. Mario Odyssey

9. Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing really got me through Covid and will forever have a very special place in my heart, even if I have not touched it properly for some time. I sunk hundreds of hours into building my paradise.

I would love to read your top 5s below!
