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”
How do you feel about classic adventure or walking sim type games? If you're willing to trade in shooting for talking and puzzles, there's some fantastic stories there.
The nice thing about Hi-Fi Rush is that, while the story won't blow your mind, the characters are all lovable, and it's nice to have a Saturday morning cartoon sort of vibe where everything isn't super grimdark.
They nailed the characters. Loved Korsica.
I loved a lot of Wadjet Eye games. Technobabylon is a favourite of mine.
The now-defunct Daedelic had some decent games, my favour is Memoria. I don't know why, but something about it stuck with me. It's the right mix of darker fantasy with more low fantasy moments that I like.
