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”

Uncharted Trilogy is a good starting point with your Last of Us suggestion.
Phsyconauts is another option if platformers are your thing
Ghostbuster the video game is a fun classic if you are a fan of the series
Anything else I could recommended would have some open worldnes to it, like Saints Row, and GTA where its linear but there are arrows and markers to guide you through the world
Open world stuff while it can have some great story has a habit of sidetracking me and I burn out on side activities and drop the game. Like rdr2. Isn’t uncharted trilogy on ps only and just one part got released on pc?
