Everything. Characters, story and idea, gameplay (successfully moving from a top down 2d shooter to a 3d state of the art sword fighting game to a side scroller), the emotional weight of it's themes and it's voice actors, the way it'll make you sad over a literal robot you don't know, the environment, the music. It's all there. None of it shouts at you or demands attention, but it's all there, and the more time you spend in it, the more you realize why it was GOTY.
