Probably the greatest example of environmental and gameplay based storytelling in the modern day. Could be described as too vague to be compelling, but I think the gaps really allow the player to fill in their own blanks. Gameplay wise, skill is hard to learn and harder to master, but is incredibly enjoyable once the form is down, much like martial arts in a way. Even the slog, start-and-repeat nature of each dungeon informs the general feeling that culminates in such a clear moment of catharsis that I have hardly felt in any other game.
