Preference ≠ fact

They are completely different art-styles, Ori is vibrant and hugely detailed, whereas Hollow Knight is what you'd get if you gave Gullermo del Toro a set of colouring pencils.

I completed Ori a while back and am only 2 or 3 hours into Hollow Knight but I'm def leaning towards the latter as my style of choice. It just exudes this kind of cute yet unsettling weirdness. Both are great though.

Maybe Hollow Knight story doesn't come close to Ori and the blind Forest I did check hollow Night on PC its in the 80's meta while Switch is 93? 

Portability could add a few points. Bugs smoothed out, dlc added, improved features, ect. IDK, those all could be things that raise score if true, but more than likely it is just the case of console reviewers always giving games higher scores.

Probably the fanbases.

You give a console game a 10/10 or 9/10 you are praised and loved, or actually more than likely ignored. If you give a lower than a 9, you are attacked and hated for being a troll.

If you give a PC game a 10/10, it is the opposite. The PC gamers will attack and hate on you for giving a shit game a perfect score cause it has bugs, no mod support, isn't $5 ect. 

Feels like when I look at reviews that PC gamers want a more honest critical review versus console gamers wanting a fanboy 10/10 bragging rights review. And so reviewers play to their crowd. Not saying PC game reviewers are better reviewers, just saying pc gamers think they are due to the scores seeming more grounded than every game getting a 9/10.

edit: Also with mods, reviewers or they know their fans are not so much impressed by a new games graphics cause they can make Skyrim look as good as say God of War.
