2021 was a somewhat thin year in a lot of categories due to COVID-inflicted delays, but action fans still had a fair amount to sink their teeth into. Switch owners were treated to a pair of long-awaited series revivals in Metroid Dread and No More Heroes III, while on the multiplatform front, games like Hitman 3 and Resident Evil Village delivered well-polished genre thrills. None of this year’s action games really broke the mould, but they provided some reliably-entertaining thumb workouts, so limber up and get ready to battle through Wccftech’s Best Action Games of 2021!

Also in Wccftech's Best Games of 2021 lists: Fighters, Platformers, and Strategy & Simulation.
