Hi, as it’s in my title. I’m looking for narrative driven games with good story, something I can play on my steam deck. Not something open open world but more of a on rails experience.
Things I’ve played that that should give rough idea what I have in mind:

  • The last of us
  • until dawn/the dark pictures anthology series
  • the quarry
  • new/remakes of resident evil games
  • Road 96
  • Alan Wake remake

I obviously have a horror/mystery preferences and I want the story to be told to me, I don’t like the dark souls approach of “guess or read all of the in game books or w/e to have a chance at glimpsing a hint of a story”

    A lot of great games already mentioned here. If you want to try something a little different. Yakuza 0 has a bonkers story that is weird and wonderful, but very Japanese.

    Tacoma and Gone Home are great stories and well worth a look.

    I also rate the Max Payne series for some pulpy fun story with lots of shooty in between.

      Point and click are not really my thing but thank you. Although, the dark anthology series is kind of point and click so I might need to reevaluate that.

      I have a beef with Yakuza so no thanks :)

        Tacoma and Gone Home are more walking g simulators, but I get it!

        The Forgotten City was a pretty mind bending game. Also a lot of folks like The Witcher 3 from a narrative stance. Not really my jam though.
