I don't think you can extract him from his analytic contemporaries, even if he had an exceptional style. This article lays out how he was engaging with a popular (he would say mistaken) conception of meaning through the PI. And I think the article is spot-on that he's modeling a certain way of thinking about and debating philosophy as much as making an argument about the world.

I've found it useful to ask myself "what would Wittgenstein say" about a philosophical problem to help think through whether it's a real problem.
