It tells a lot about the quality of a franchise when the worst installment is also the best

Do I have to play the first one to understand the story?

really? I thought Hollow Knight was by FAR the worst in the franchise. it should be no way near the top spot. if it were me I'd probably put it all the way at the bottom at #1

They kinda fell off with Silksong ngl, but Grub Eater was such a fantastic return to form that I can forgive them.

I disagree.

What about hungry knight?

So when does hollow knight get good.
