Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I have played much more complex deck builders with meta progression, quest systems, multiple parties and characters, but they bored me precisely because of their "unnecessary" complexity.

Gameplay

It is wonderful that games have become more complex and deeper over the years, but it is also nice that there are "essential" titles that put gameplay first.
