For me it has to be either Godot's controller support. In other engines, this often requires some third party extension/addon/plugin to make work correctly, there's often issues with dualshock or nintendo controllers, and controllers are treated as entirely different input entities than M/KB.
In Godot, you just wire up all your actions, fire off GetFocus in the appropriate scripts, and your game has controller support. The only bespoke codepath that distinguishes between controller/mouse in my game so far is the one that supports first-person mouselook vs. controller look. It really does just work, adding controller support was two commits and a handful of lines of code.
For the ESL folks: "Sleeper" means that it's a feature that isn't very flashy or impressive, but it's really useful/powerful. It comes from the racing world, and refers to a car that looks like trash, but is incredibly fast.
