Games that have been released as a series of episodes which, when put together, form the complete story or experience. Future episodes may be released as patches or DLC for a base game, or may require save data from a previous episode. Individual episodes are often released at a low price while delivering only a small amount of content.

Limitations

• Games with "Episode" or "Volume" in the title do not necessarily qualify. For example, while theXenosaga games each have "Episode" in the title, they are all full-length games with standalone releases.
• In the cases of non-episodic base games with episodic DLC stories, such asBioShock Infinite orAlan Wake, the base game should only be added to the group if the DLC episodes are adirect continuation of its narrative.
