- villains that genuinely care about each other
- conflict where both sides are morally ambiguous
- the plot/tone suddenly taking a drastic dark turn
- good monster design
- corruption arcs
- redemption arcs
- twist villains but specifically the kind that were earnestly on the protagonist's side (or neutral) until something caused them to change their mind
- plotlines that are just "hey wouldn't it be super messed up if this happened?"
- the same scene but from different characters' completely different perspectives
- story is set in the aftermath of some key past event, but we don't get to see the details of what exactly went down until we're well into the plot
