It’s no surprise that romance is taking over the VR world and there are new games coming out all the time to satiate the public hunger for love in the virtual world. There’s a romance game for every genre, even if it’s a mini game within a massive AAA title. Some of these romance games are hidden inside bigger games and some of them are their own standalone experiences that give you all the gameplay and excitement that you could want. Here are 10 of the best VR games with romance that you’ll fall in love with.
10. Dating Lessons
Dating Lessons isn’t necessarily a great game. In fact, it might not even be a very good one. It gets worse when you consider that the VR can be disorienting to players. However, it’s not terrible. It focuses on teaching men and women how to date and brings up tips on everything from making eye contact to asking questions. It has a short run time and that works to its advantage. If you want a game that’s fast and fun while being so bad and strange that it’s good, this is more than worth your time to check out.
9. Happy Manager
Happy Manager is a fun game that came out in 2016 and it’s been giving players a good time ever since. You play as a property manager who just happens to start getting hit on by three tenants in his building. The graphics look great in the headset and it’s easy to lose yourself to all the fun of the game. What’s really impressive is the amount of dialogue it has. There are almost 28,000 lines and they’re all unique to the game. It’s a great way to spend your VR gaming time.
8. Alternative Girls
Alternative Girls is a shallow game but that’s perfectly fine. It doesn’t have to be any deeper than it is for the goals it sets out to achieve. This is a classic kind of Japanese dating simulator that you can get right on your Android or iOS device. You get to talk to 13 different girls and try to date all of them. If you’re on the fence about VR, or even just want to see what it’s all about, this is the game that will help you decide. It’s an easy game that will show you what VR has to offer you.
7. Gal*Gun VR
Gal*Gun VR takes the classic dating sim game and adds in FPS elements that help you navigate your way through this fantastical world. Not only are you already the most popular boy in school, but the girls are practically falling over themselves to get a piece of you. That’s where the first-person shooter elements come into play. You’re equipped with a pheromone gun that affects the actions of the NPCs. You have to keep the girls at bay before they overrun you and love you to death.
6. Dreams VR
Dreams VR isn’t a dating sim on its own. It’s a sandbox game for PSVR that lets you build pretty much anything you want. It’s an expansive offering that has creation tools that let you make so many things that it has won acclaim for its customizability. It should come as no surprise that players have used the game to create their own dating sims. When you can do anything you want within the dating realm, there’s going to be someone making something fun. Just think about dating Leisure Suit Larry or Shrek. That’s what’s waiting for you in this VR sandbox.
5. I’m Gonna Blow! The Nuke Seduction Game
If you’re looking for a dating sim with a fun storyline that you’ve never seen before then you have to check out I’m Gonna Blow! The Nuke Seduction Game. You’re a government official who has to stop a nuclear bomb from exploding, but it has nothing to do with cutting wires. You have to date the bomb and flirt with it to stop it from blowing everyone up. It’s the kind of game you don’t come across very often and it’s more than worth your gaming time to check it out.
4. Focus On You
Focus On You is a fun VR game that places you in the shoes of a photographer who’s working with a gorgeous amateur model. She’s agreed to work with you on a volunteer basis and you get to choose her poses while you talk to her. The more you talk to her, the closer you get to her with the game’s goal of making her your girlfriend. It’s not a long game, so you can play it casually and still have a lot of fun. The graphics are great and it’s a perfect concept for a VR game.
3. Skyrim VR
Skyrim VR is not a dating sim in any way. It’s a roleplaying adventure game that lets you step into the Skyrim world with your VR headset giving you the full immersion you’ve always wanted from it. What makes this perfect for a dating sim is the romance mechanic. You get to propose marriage to NPCs you connect with and then you get to live the married life with them. You’ll get to decorate the homes you share and save them from occasional attacks. It’s a very realistic take on romance in an open and magical world.
2. Fallout 4 VR
Fallout 4 VR is a lot like Skyrim VR. It’s not a dating sim, but it has a dating mechanic you can use in the game. The difference here is that you can take your loves on as companions. In fact, they’ll have to be your companions so you can grow your relationships and end up romancing them. You can go for straight, gay, and lesbian romances depending on your character and the companions you want to date. Once you max out your relationships, you’ll get perks to enjoy with your gameplay.
1. VR Chat
Finally, the best kind of dating sim isn’t really a sim at all. VR Chat lets you put on your headset and chat with real people from all around the world. You’ll be in the VR space while you talk in public and private rooms. It’s no surprise that lots of real romances pop up within the game and you never know who you’re going to meet. If you’re looking for real love, then give this game a shot and see where things lead. Just remember that the other person is always real while you’re talking to them.
