the experience. its not about gameplay or story or what ever. every game sets out to be something different than the other.
for example, to the moon sets out to be a stroy driven game about the love between two people. does it have good graphics? no, its what 16 bit graphics. is the gameplay good ? well no, because there is little to no gameplay? but is the game amazing? yes, because it done what it set out to be.
if the experience is good, then thats what i care about. but if i feel that there is something lacking in the experience, whether its gameplay or story or graphics, then there is a problem

I think this type of games you are mentioning are the ones that fall into my "exceptions" category like 999. One aspect of the game (that's not gameplay for me) is so good that the other ones pretty much don't matter. Although so far there's only 1 game in my exceptions box. 

I heard a lot of people talking about To the Moon, I will play that game when I have the time.
