Something that Overwatch fans have quietly pinned for over the better part of the past decade has been the ability to romance the game’s characters. And finally, Blizzard delivered wiyh the Loverwatch dating game, a visual novel that lets you romance Mercy, Genji, and has a secret ending that we’ve made a handy guide for. But honestly, we have only one question: Bastion route DLC when?

Even the bleak world of the Dota 2 lore has moments of romance, and we explore them in The love stories of the Dota 2 Universe. From flings with fish-people to Skywrath Mage’s crush on Vengeful Spirit, there’s romance galore in Dota 2. I guess we’re treating Dota: Dragon’s Blood as non-canon for this article though, because I don’t see Davion x Mirana on that list…

In the modern day, we’re all searching for a real connection with people. Something authentic, not just superficial. The kind of spark you can only have with your VALORANT duo!

Back again with Dota 2, and this time we’re here for the cute things. Honestly, Valentine’s isn’t always about couples. Sometimes it’s about pouring love into cute cuddly things.

For once, you don’t have to cancel your gaming plans for date night, as Apex Legends transforms its duos into Dates. There’s a lot to love about this mode, from “Cutest Couple” replacing Champion Squad, and the ability to spam “I Love You” to your squadmate. But frankly, if we were getting third-partied this much on real-life dates, we’d probably give it up entirely.

Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to ship your favs. Whether Pac-Man is your oomfie, or King Dedede and King K. Rool are your OTP, we've got you covered. Honestly this piece confirmed a lot of our suspicions about Lucario's inclusion in the game. So even if you've got no chance to smash this Valentine's Day, rest assured that your SSB main will.
