Many games have names that have little to nothing to do with the title, are so generic that they hardly describe the game itself, or are made of made-up words that can't be meaningful. This tag identifies instances where the game title more or less actually describes what the game (or rather its story) is about.
Games named by the game genre/type/etc. should not count, thus omitting most traditional and sports games (which tend to be all named in this kind of manner).
Something else than this should be used for instances where the game title refers to a character by (code) name or their profession.
