As the encyclopædist of The Oddworld Encyclopædia, I have to say its the world of Oddworld: that self-contained, fully realised reality that could, so temptingly, be true. It's a pretty broad thing to say, I suppose, because it comprises everything from the stunning geomorphology, through the believable biology of the creatures, to the twisted societies and lovable characters. But it's all there, and that's what I love most of all.
Secondary to that would have to be the philosophies that reality represents, and its “shattered mirror” method of reflection. All very resectable.
