’Tis the season for love 💞💘

And these games put it right in their name

Sayonara Wild Hearts

Why it matters

Pitched as “pop album video game,” Sayonara Wild Hearts is the rare game I find myself constantly replaying for five minutes at a time, just to play a single level, then leaving fully satisfied and almost always in a better mood than when I began.

Thirsty Suitors

Why it matters

Affectionately described as a “baby Yakuza,” Thirsty Suitors is a skateboarding, romance, cooking, and turn-based combat game. Its maximalist, both in its visuals and mechanics, but there’s no shortage of sincerity tied up in there.

Thirty Flights of Loving

Why it matters

Thirty Flights of Loving is a hectic, surreal, hilarious, and even moving 15-minute narrative game experience. It’s like a walking simulator played on fast-forward, punctuated with startling elisions and jump cuts. And car chases. And magical-realist hallucinations. And a wedding.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

Why it matters

Scramble with your friends to operate a spaceship hurtling through outer space. Each of you can only pilot one of the ship’s eight total control panels at any given time. We hope you like your partners, because you’ll be shouting directions and trying not to lose it as you work together.
