For me nostalgia is king. The main selling point of the Switch is portability, and the ability to play some of my favorite games from the past forty plus years of enjoy this hobby...is huge. After that, I'm not big on paying full price for newer games. Considering the size of my backlog, I have zero qualms about waiting for a deep discount. And then having a look at gameplay before making the purchase, to see if it's something I would enjoy playing.
Aggregate scores like Metacritic and Opencritic aren't a deciding factor for me.
I've played some "bad" games I've really enjoyed, and I've played "good" games which I think are hot garbage.
