You are welcome to your opinion. This has been addressed in the very deep sibling thread, but broadly speaking, it has been widely acknowledged that Hollow Knight is one of the best games of all time.[0] This does not mean most people believe Hollow Knight is the #1 game of all time (or even its release year), or that every single person likes Hollow Knight. It is an explanation as to why Silksong received an enormous amount of hype.

As I said in the parallel thread, you can argue that Michael Jordan and LeBron James are better than Kobe Bryant (and I would agree, and frankly few would argue otherwise), but that does not invalidate the statement "Kobe Bryant is one of the best basketball players of all time."

It does mean that a majority or a large percentage of people believe it's one of the best of all time though. That Wikipedia article is a bad example for reasons I've explained in the sibling thread and which you haven't yet addressed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45186805
