>Review scores are comparable
They're not. A 3-point differential in the 90+ is a significant gap.
>E33's popularity was on another level
Popularity doesn't matter. It'll help it win "Players' Choice," much like Wu Kong last year, but that's it.
I'm not sure where Silksong fits in between these 2. Realistically, I don't see it winning much of anything.
