I feel like the more you have to learn something in order to utilize game mechanics, the more likely you are to retain information.
ie survival games with foraging mechanics can instill the basics of foraging, plant species, and how said species need to be processed in order to be edible, because the player is able to mechanically benefit by learning those things
I learnt a lot as a kid from an old point and click horror game called Biosys, about being stranded in a set of biospheres. It had a great in-game encyclopedia about the plants of various biomes, and you needed to use it to safely find food and water, etc.
Also learned about mescaline, white angels trumpet, and mutant maneating plant vampires that keep stealing all your precious CO2 facehugger style...
