It's surprising to see Hollow Knight out-performing Dead Cells, considering the latter released in the month of August and Hollow Knight has been available for a couple months now. Some other stand-out titles on this list include Into the Breach, The Messenger, and Salt and Sanctuary. I contributed to several of these games' earning their ranking, how about you?
