What Switch games do you consider to be better served by being played in handheld mode or docked on a larger TV?

To me, the games that are best served by being played docked are shooters with gyro controls, that are best served with being able to use the joycons individually to aim, and games like the Xenoblade series where a large part of the experience is the beautiful vistas but which tend to launch with very low resolutions in handheld mode that detract from the visuals.

In handheld, games that have the same resolution as in docked mode like Bayonetta 2 will usually look better on the smaller screen.  Games that use the touch-screen extensively are usually better in handheld mode, like Okami.  Some games are better specifically on the oled model, like Metroid Dread, which benefits from the deeper blacks.
