Hollow Knight is truly one of the greatest games ever made. I consider Super Metroid to be the best game ever, and Hollow Knight? It comes really close. Between Hollow Knight and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, I can’t decide which the best modern metroidvania game.
Hollow Knight is just perfect. If you haven’t played it, get settled in a dark room, with no distractions, out it on, and prepare to be immersed.

I love both games as well. But even though they’re both considered metroidvanias, they’re fundamentally different games and preference really depends on what you’re looking for.
The death mechanic on Ori is a lot more forgiving as checkpoints are frequent and there’s no tracking back to get your souls back. Hollow Knight is brutal and far more of a challenge. Hollow Knights combat also feels “tighter” and more satisfying than Ori. However, Ori imo has a better story , music, and graphics. The traversal in Ori is a lot more smoother and enjoyable than HN, I find myself mindlessly cruising through the entire world (similar to how I feel swinging through Spiderman).

I love both HK and WotW and would rank them equally, just for different reasons.
