Detailed rich backstory and mythos, and presumably something that makes
it unique compared to similar games.

IE all the Elder scrolls games are set in the same universe.

All the star wars games are set in the star wars universe etc.

Your above two examples sound like general game company douchebaggery
bolting on buzzwords where they don't belong.

What pray tell is the unique, rich mythos behind DDR or BAM?

Although the first thing that popped to mind after reading DDRU was
George Lucas finally going completely and utterly insane and revising
the original Star Wars trilogy into a semi-musical full of dance
numbers.

Han not only didn't shoot first, he did a Tap number before shooting
back.
