Agreed! I think this applies to any game where you have to explore both the world and the gameplay. It gives you these incredible "ah-ha" moments that you'll never forget and have an impact on your gaming for the rest of your life. I think for me the number 1 game I had this experience with was Animal Well. Our group played both Animal Well and Outer Wilds for our indie game club and every single person had multiple moments like this for each game.
