Edit 1: Alphabetized, game titles bolded, spacing effort
Edit 2: Re-added some user added games that got deleted somehow (probably too many edits)
Edit 3: Feel free to post your opinion even if a games already up there. I'll add yours as well
Let's help each other make a list of games based on how good of ports they are. I'll start with my library, add yours and I'll add it to OP. Let's try and fill this out, help your fellow gamer make the right purchase!!
Scale: 0 being unplayable 10 being excellent
Abzu: (Framerate is not stable in handheld, takes a giant nosedive in more cluttered areas. It is ok when docked.) (Credit u/Lyalla)
Ace Attorney Trilogy: 9. (Solid port that finally nails the character portraits in HD while also having a pretty slick UI and incorporating touch controls and HD rumble. That being said it's come at the cost of seriously sanitizing backgrounds. Otherwise it's the same trilogy that you know and love, here's hoping the other games come over.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Animus: 6 (This one was actually a mobile game. I like this game but long load times, a handful of very inconvenient glitches ((allies suddenly not spawning in areas where they're practically needed to progress)) and what appears to be no sign of the devs releasing a patch period churn it from what should be at least a 7 to something lower. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the glitches.)
Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection - Konami: 10. (Arcade Archives have done great work with their games on switch and it shows with the Konami Arcade Collection. Similarly M2 comes back for the latter 2 collections and they improve where the Mana collection fell short with even more goodies, region exclusive games, and even the Japanese versions of their games. One area where Konami finally delivered. (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
ARK: Survival Evolved: 1 (The port was a joke. It barely hit 20 frames at times. Not to mention the graphics look like a bad ps2 game on handheld. Credit u/Wild_Encounter)
The Banner Saga Trilogy: (UI is poorly optimised - while playing it was very clear to me that this was made for a mouse. Highlighting units on battlefield was a chore, which is an issue in a strategy game, and while you can do it by tapping touch screen, the moment they stand close together you lose ability to point precisely. Moving units themselves was executed well though. In everything except dialogue and tutorials font is too small to be readable in handheld and menu navigation is unintuitive with the sticks. If you can play it on pc, you should play it on pc.) (Credit u/Lyalla)
Bayonetta 1+2: 10 (Higher framerate, higher resolution, nuff said) (Credit u/jdsrockin)
Binding of isaac Afterbirth+: 8 (Added quick reset, no fps drops it feels like it was made for the switch.) (Credit u/blazingchaos91)
Bloodstained Ritual of the Night: 7 (Has a lot of problems, the devs talk about a patch coming on November but as the moment of this post the port is 6-8/10 ((because the experience varies between users))) (Credit u/DeadlyLancer)
Castle Crashers Remastered: 10. (This game is as good on Switch as PS4/XB1/Steam and it's portable thanks to Switch. This is the best version of the game availbile.)
Castlevania Anniversary Collection: 10. (Arcade Archives have done great work with their games on switch and it shows with the Konami Arcade Collection. Similarly M2 comes back for the latter 2 collections and they improve where the Mana collection fell short with even more goodies, region exclusive games, and even the Japanese versions of their games. One area where Konami finally delivered. (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Civilization 6: 7. (It's still perfectly fun, but it gets slow in the late game, and there are some things that are hard to do docked without the touch screen. If the Switch is your only gaming device ((me)), or you really want to play Civ on the go ((also me)), it's worth getting. But if you have a gaming computer and don't mind playing there, that's the better option.) (Credit u/bockout)
Collection of Mana: 9. (M2 nail it with a fantastic re-release with save states and a music player along with fantastic emulation (Trials getting localized alone would have been enough for me to call this great), and really it's just those extra steps holding it back. I would have loved the Japanese versions of the game, the ability to turn off borders, and more visual options.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Contra Anniversary Collection: 10. (Arcade Archives have done great work with their games on switch and it shows with the Konami Arcade Collection. Similarly M2 comes back for the latter 2 collections and they improve where the Mana collection fell short with even more goodies, region exclusive games, and even the Japanese versions of their games. One area where Konami finally delivered. (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Cuphead: 9. (Load times are slightly better on other systems but with fast restarts it's far from game breaking. Very solid port.)
Dark Souls Remastered: 8. (Solid 30 throughout. Graphics can't compete with other consoles remastered version but the games all here with dlc baked in.)
Dead by Daylight: 6.5 (A pretty good port just a bit uglier than it's console counterparts.) (Credit u/venusasabae)
Devil May Cry: 8. (It's the HD collection game sold back to you at a premium, which sucks. Otherwise it's basically the same experience you'll find on other platforms (with all the existing HD collection issues), and with 2 out I'm confident we'll get 3 along with a physical collection like Resident Evil did.)

(Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Diablo III: 9 (I think Diablo III is an excellent port, stable 60fps 99% of the time. Can't give more data rn but there are several videos that proves this.) (Credit u/mechanical_bless)
Divinity Original Sin 2: 7 (Dynamic res isn't too troublesome, huge spell effects can tank the framerate at times, text is readable in handheld) (Credit u/jdsrockin)
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2: 9. (Damn good port, 30 fps in multi-fights, 60 fps in 1v1. This is the real Xeno2 but on Switch. Hub world kinda laggy on portable)
Dragon's Dogma: 9 (Framerate is better than the PS3/360 versions, controls hold up on the Switch, only 30 bucks rather than going with a full 60) (Credit u/jdsrockin)
Dragon Quest: 7. Perfect port of the mobile version of the game, but the mobile versions weren't that great to begin with. M2 really need to come in and show their love to DQ and FF, especially with the first six entries of each series. Otherwise just pretty basic port of already pretty basic versions of the game. (Credit u/kkundlas1105)

(Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Dragon Quest XI: 8 (Resolution differences are definitely noticable in handheld, graphics didn't take a huge hit, framerate is good, plus all the extra stuff makes up for its lower res) (Credit u/jdsrockin)
Final Fantasy VII: 7: (Honestly is a pretty barebones port of the classic title, and I can't help but feel the new convenience options trivialize the games in a way I'm not happy with. That being said, I can see how they benefit those who want the option. Otherwise it's a pretty functional if boring port. Happy they fixed the music glitch at last.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Final Fantasy IX: 7: (Basically the same issues and positives with VII, but with the caveat that features like full analog control and multiplayer from past versions don't make an easy comeback.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Friday the 13th: 9. (Controversial but the friday the 13th one is one of the best ports on the console. plays and looks exactly like it does on the other consoles and is just a really fun time.) (Credit u/venusasabae)
Hellblade - Seuna's Revenge: 8. (Getting this game playable at all is an achievement, and the transitions between the lower-resolution gameplay to higher resolution pre-rendered videos is super smooth. It's a pretty sizable game at 18 gb, but it shows. It is pretty hard to see in handheld mode though.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Hollow Knight: 10 (1. Runs great, Hollow Knight had input lag at one point and had a few bugs but I cannot say it's a bad port because it happened only two or three times and maybe they are now fixed. Perfect port so 10/10) (2. I cannot compare it with other versions but I can tell you it is very stable and, from what I've heard, Switch version actually made some improvements that were patched into versions on other platforms. So I'd say it's solid.) (Credit 1. u/DeadlyLancer) (Credit 2. u/Lyalla)
Lego Worlds: 7. (This one was tough. It's as arbitrarily broken as on every other system, with a few Switch specific downgrades graphically. Still just as solidly enjoyable and heartbreaking as everywhere else, I'll go 7 for the port quality.)
Minecraft: 9.* (Solid port, superior to PS4 version, minor amount less capable than Win10/XB1. *in my experience ((with a download version)) Credit u/Benay148 for pointing out it should be noted others have had issues with this port)
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate: 10 (Flawless ((port from MHXX 3ds))) (Credit u/DeadlyLancer)
Okami: 10 (All platforms are locked to 30 and hold it, highest res possible on Switch, handheld mode feels like the definitive way to play instead of Wiimote or PS Move) (Credit u/jdsrockin)
Ori and the Blind Forest - Definitive Edition: 10. (It's the already great game on Switch with all the optimizations made to the game over the years, including 60 fps in handheld. This and Cuphead were my dream ports, and Microsoft really delivered.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Overcooked: 9 (Has bigger load times but the game also runs flawlessly 9/10) (Credit u/DeadlyLancer)
Puyo Puyo Tetris: 10 (Maybe you don't know but Puyo Puyo tetris is also a port, it runs perfect too. 10/10) (Credit u/DeadlyLancer)
Red Faction Guerilla: 4.* (This game inspired the post. I wanted to like it, and it's technically playable. But loading screens are the worst I've encountered on the Switch period, docked or handheld, to the point where I don't play anymore. Also drive too fast and the game enteres Nintendo 64 mode. Good game, ass port, it technically runs. *in my experience ((with a download version)) Credit u/Benay148 for pointing out it should be noted others have not had the same issue with this port)
Resident Evil 4: 8 (This game looks fantastic in HD and still holds up pretty well today. The Switch port hits a consistent 60fps with some barely noticeable dips in more crowded areas. Unfortunately there aren't any features specific to the Switch version which is a shame because gyro aiming would have been a great option to have. Nevertheless, this is an almost flawless port of one of the greatest games of the GameCube generation.) (Credit u/Clownbaby5)
Resident Evil Revelations 1+2: 10. (Capcom really went above and beyond with this port, creating custom motion controls and even using the IR sensor for reloading. Solid ports of some lukewarm Resi games. Now if only that effort stayed consistent with the rest of the ports...) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
The Sexy Brutale: 3. (The game that still has issues on fully upgraded PC's has issues on Switch. Go figure. One of the worst optimized games I have ever seen. Lackluster resolution despite a toony art direction, ungodly load times just between rooms, horrible input lag, and I swear below 10 fps at times. Points for trying to fix it and for technically being beatable, but don't bother.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Shovel Knight: 9-10. (1. The game is exactly the same as PC, it comes with great multiplayer co op like the original along with the same 8 bit graphics brought to your TV or portable. Overall it's fun to play with friends, it also supports single joycon if someone (like my gf) prefers the smaller simpler controller scheme of a single joycon. It doesn't have motion controls but that's passable for an 8 bit retro style videogame lol but it also includes all DLC the PC port currently has and is adding more when the DLC is complete. Overally great game with equal fun and support of the original.) (2. Runs great, perfect port so 10/10) (Credit 1. my brother 9/10 ) (Credit 2. u/DeadlyLancer 10/10)
Skyrim Remastered: 8. (Graphics aren't quite on other systems remastered level, its locked 30 fps and no mods unlike other consoles, but it's superior to last gen versions and portable. Solid port.)
**Southpark: The Fractured But Whole: 10. Cartoony aesthetic Seventh/Eighth Gen game still holds up and controls great on Switch. Go figure. (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
**Southpark: The Stick of Truth: 10. Cartoony aesthetic Seventh/Eighth Gen game still holds up and controls great on Switch. Go figure. (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy: 7. (I'm happy these games are here relatively in tact, but the fps dips are constant, motion blur can't be used in handheld, it's got some pretty hard dithering, and the fact the physical version STILL requires a download for most of the content despite it being able to fit on a single 16 gb cart is cheap as hell.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast: 6. (The game is a carbon copy of the original with 1080p remastered graphics which look great. The game itself I haven't used Motion controls with the joycons so I can't give an opinion on that but some of the controls are a bit odd with some button placement in comparison to the Gamecube and the Original Xbox Controller but nothing radically difficult but no improvements in that way. The game looks great, the cheats have been altered a tad from the original, and there are sometimes glitches that interrupt the game very rarely. The game is better graphically but without multiplayer it takes a huge hit. Multiplayer originally was one of the best features to showcase the game's lightsaber combat which is the best out of any star wars game to date. Hopefully they patch it in later, if they do I will change my score. But just being a graphical uphaul with removed features, I have to go with 6.) (Credit my brother)
The Witcher 3: 11 (How do you like the taste of that silver?) (Credit u/jdsrockin)
The World Ends With You - Final Remix: 6. (Wondermagenta has a pretty good video detailing the issues with this port, but to sum up: An over-glorified port of the mobile version of TWEWY that already failed to preserve the art of the game while also failing to update the control scheme in a comfortable manner and undermining TWEWY's conclusive ending with new, sequel-begging content. Either play the original or get the mobile version for cheaper.) (Credit u/kkundlas1105)
