What makes a game story rich?

Cut the story out and you are left with a gap rather than a working game. Disco Elysium is the extreme case, since the entire experience is a conversation with other people and with yourself. Alongside it sit branching narratives like Life is Strange, classic CRPGs in the Planescape: Torment tradition, and short forms such as What Remains of Edith Finch that you finish in one evening. A large part of this category overlaps with adventure games and RPGs, where the script has always been in the foreground.

How much do story rich games cost?

The median entry costs about 25% more than the site-wide median (as of September 2026). It is one of the most frequently discounted categories in the catalogue: 48.2% of paid titles carry a cut right now, averaging 67%, and 49.5% of those reach 75% or deeper. The reason is straightforward. A game with a closed story and little cause for a second run loses value to its publisher faster, so the price comes down earlier than it does for productions built around hundreds of hours of play.

When is the right time to buy?

Almost always later, because nothing here ages. A story from five years ago is exactly as good as it was at launch and costs a fraction of the price. With around half the titles discounted at any given moment, something on your list is nearly always cheaper right now. For 40.3% of these games the cheapest offer comes from a keyshop. Check the historical low, and if the current price sits above it, set an alert. We check offers every five minutes.
