A purpose doesn't necessarily have to be a story. It could be something simple as a goal. This goal can be to change a game environment to match a certain objective, or defeat an opponent using the environment. What also gets lumped into games are sandbox games. These include games in the sim series, where you are a god over the environment, or one where you just jump around and explore and shoot stuff, like in Crackdown (or the original 2D GTA). And games that rely on what I just wrote don't necessarily have a story.
