I haven’t had a console since ps3. I like story driven games. I do enjoy CK, AoE, Civ.

I liked Sicko elesium, any othercommie games to enjoy? What about for the people?

    The most impressive story-focused games I got on Steam Deck are

    • Wolfenstein 2: New Order

    Looks amazing on Steam Deck and runs really well, more story focused FPS though it has a mixed tone, it’s $5 for a grey-market steam key from G2A. It’s also available through a DODI repack on 1337x.to or Fitgirl

    CW: Very dark and very violent despite its mixed tone, does not sanitize Nazi violence against queers and other enemies of fascists, has story sequences from POV of child abuse and forced animal abuse

    • Red Dead Redemption 2

    One of the best looking games ever and runs well on Steam Deck. Haven’t gotten too far into the story yet but it’s really good.

    • Atom RPG

    Steam Deck verified, haven’t tried it yet because I want a full week to get really immersed. It’s a classic Fallout style game set in the Soviet Union and it’s written by communists

    • Death Stranding

    You play as Norman Reedus doing sci-fi mutual aid to rebuild America through infrastructure by Hideo Kojima

    • Metro Exodus

    Soviet FPS Fallout with survival horror elements, semi-open zones, story-driven, for train lovers and people that love the post-apocalyptic Soviet setting. You are incentivized to avoid combat when possible. Characters made positive comments about Mao and you are more or less part of a small commune, beautiful communist imagery and natural setting. (Doesn’t support Steam Cloud Saves, requires manual backup)

    • Fallout New Vegas

    It’s Fallout New Vegas

    • Alan Wake

    Third person horror shooter inspired by classics like Twin Peaks and The Shining, made by Remedy, kind of reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other 90s cheese

    • Aperture Desk Job

    This is the pack-in game for Steam Deck by Valve, but does not come pre-installed, teaches you about Steam Deck controls

    • Resident Evil 2 / 3 / Village

    The newer Resident Evil games run really well on Steam Deck and have more emphasis on their story and cutscenes

    • Cyberpunk 2077

    Takes some level of tinkering, low-medium settings with XESS enabled in the game settings to good 40fps performance but looks really impressive on Steam Deck

    The themes are a miss but the cinematography and acting in this game is phenomenal

    • Ori and the Will of the Wisps

    Side scrolling animated adventure, uses some gorgeous and innovative 2d animation systems, lots of eye candy I think it’s like a Metroidvania somewhat

    • Prey

    First person sci-fi immersive sim like classic Deus Ex, haven’t tried it but it’s a niche classic

    • Fallout 1 / 2

    Classic Fallout is available and playable, may take some tinkering with setting and controller settings

    • LA Noire

    You play a 1930s New York Detective solving murders, by Rockstar Games

    • Prince of Persia original trilogy

    It’s kind of like Zelda and the only really good games Ubisoft ever made, first game is like a fairy tale, later ones become more edgy
