From what I hear Expedition 33 is set to win, it only gets praised across the board, I believe by far it has the most nominations and it's the 93%+ favorite on polymarket. I actually wanted to place a bet when it was under 90% favorite after hearing Asmongold talk about it saying it was no competition. Honestly when the nominations popped up it was the first time I heard about that game.
I recently bought a steamdeck and Hollow Knight for sure is a game that I will get into at some point. I'm not sure though if I should start with the original one or Silksong.
