I haven't played this, but I played Obra Dinn, which the review mentions, and I really don't think digital notes would have been nearly as good as pencil and paper. I really needed to draw arrows between things, sketch out a timeline, put question marks around ideas, etc. Pencil and paper is just so much more expressive.

I think the option would be great regardless. What you say is true - pen and paper is more expressive than digital notes, but digital notes is better than nothing.

I played Obra Dinn without pen and paper and I was fine.

There was a game called The Roottrees are dead which is based on Obra dinn with a built in journal system and it is really useful.
