What is a Mystery Game ?

A mystery game is a video game where players are challenged with solving one or a series of mysteries in order to complete the final objective.

There is no set standard for mystery games, with them found in all genres, including match-3, RPG, detective, horror, turn-based, first-person, third-person, party-based, and PVP.

There may not be set genres that mystery games need to follow, however, they all have they mystery itself drive the narrative of the game, for instance games such as Life is Strange and L.A. Noir require the player character to often solve puzzles so that the next puzzle can be presented.

In PvP games, such as Town of Salem, players are tasked with surviving using abilities and their communication skills, and will often force players to against each other if they want to survive until the end.

Mystery games will always be popular as they force players to think, communicate, and solve puzzles, giving the sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction at being the one responsible for completing the set objectives.

The stand-out attribute that sets mystery games apart from other genres is that they are often unscripted, giving the player choices that truly change and affect the ending of the game. An unscripted game is highly-rewarding due to the unknown in how it will end.

If making choices, deciding your own and the fate of others, and solving puzzles is a key factor in you enjoying a video game, the mystery genre is perfect for you.

This is where Tags come in.

Why Are We Doing a Top 15 Mystery List?

In the world of Mystery Games, fantastic games can be found at incredible prices but you can also be at a greater risk of being left disappointed.

Not all games reach their potential and get a release, unfortunately many games are left abandoned by their developers or are even released in a poor state and are yet still available to purchase on Steam.

Steam is in the business of selling games and sometimes that can mean a drop in quality in order to get more titles onto the Steam Store and available for purchase.

At Allkeyshop, we believe in quality over quantity and because of that we use every bit of data that Steam offers and we use that to provide the most detailed analysis of a game’s ranking.

How Do We Get Our Rankings?

Our rankings will take all available pieces of data into account, in particular we focus on the real ratings, real opinions and recommendations of those that play the game.

As a part of our ranking, we ensure that only those that own the game, have it currently available in their library and are logged into their account can vote for their favourite games. This, along with our other data, ensures we have the most accurate ranking system possible.

We only show the top 15 games so that you are not overwhelmed with hundreds of games and swamped in too much data. We plan on refreshing our top 15 each week, but we may change this plan if we find it has a real demand from you, our users.

Allkeyshop is a price comparator site with the intention of giving players the best price possible for the best games available. We remain fully impartial on prices and sellers, displaying both online sites and platforms such Steam, Origin and Epic, and we remain completely impartial on the rating of those games that we highlight in our rankings.

Our rankings are based on our users with no influence from us and we will remain impartial on the ratings and the rankings of all games.
