I like systems that allow for outrageous combos, whether unintentionally or by design. Roguelikes and roguelites usually have them, but it's almost entirely luck based. Dynasty Warriors 8 allows for plenty of OP combos if you manage the right weapon attributes. Skyrim and its ~~broken as fuck~~ perfectly balanced enchanting + alchemy (or Morrowind's even more perfectly balanced permanent fortify attribute magic)
