The gaming power couples for your Valentine 'ships

We love these couples almost as much as they love each other.

Chloe and Rachel

Exactly what is between high-school dropout Chloe Price and over-achiever Rachel Amber is up to us, via key waypoint decisions in DONTNOD’s Life is Strange (2015). But no matter in which way we choose to keep them enthralled, the sense of inescapability is spine-tingling. It makes your scalp itch. It makes the hairs on your arms stand on end. It is incredible.

Geralt and Triss

The graphic depiction of the Witcher series’ (2007––) steamy love affair between Triss Merigold of Maribor and Geralt of Rivia is enough for gamers to sit up and pay attention. However, the subtlety of Geralt’s decision between true love Yennefer of Aedirn and the Temerian sorceress is how we may assist Geralt in trying to become a ‘better’ man.

Tracer and Emily

Blizzard Entertainment responded to the Overwatch (2016) community’s clamouring for a canonical relationship by giving us something remarkably charming and private to Tracer. Simply, the game’s charismatic mascot has a gf based in London, with whom she shares a flat. In the digital comic Reflections, Emily kisses Tracer after opening a surprise Holiday gift.

Writer

Paul’s first videogame was Space Invaders in 1978, which gives away his age a bit. We put his encyclopedic knowledge of the beforetimes to good use in our Retro coverage. If you want to reach Paul, you can email or tweet him @FutureKick.
