Five Dates not only portrays dating in a digital world in a succinct and believable manner, but it’s also a title that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greatest rom-com films of all-time. Five Dates puts you in the shoes of Vinny, a twenty-something Londoner who is exploring the world of online dating during the global lockdown with the help of his best friend and confidant, Callum.

FMV games are a little like Marmite; you either love them or hate them. But while others spin tales of murder mysteries, espionage or the end of the world, Five Dates is a grounded, human story about something we can all relate to: love. It’s simple, touching and heartening – and thanks to its excellent acting and low-key but on-point production, it’s a pleasure to experience. If you’re a softie at heart and love a good romance story, Five Dates will put a smile on your face.

A unique FMV game that’s both poignant and entertaining, Five Dates is essential for fans of this genre regardless of a few flaws. Excellent acting, a smart replayable structure and culturally important subject matter make this an easy recommendation, even for those that don’t traditionally like games. Five Dates is available now on PlayStation 4 (reviewed on a standard PS4), Xbox One and PC. Developer: Good Gate Media Publisher: Wales Interactive Disclaimer: In order to complete this review, we were provided with a promotional copy of the game.

At no more than 90 minutes long, Five Dates isn’t the deepest love story you’ll ever see, but it has the heart, likeable characters, and great writing that make rom-coms enjoyable. It’ll put a smile on your face, and that’s all you can ask for. Review Block Pros - – Likeable characters - – Great, believable performances across the board - – Your choices are important to the story - – Will leave you with a smile on your face Cons - – Not a particularly deep story, as you’d possibly expect from a rom-com - – Some awkward transitions between scenes and interactions with your ‘wingman’ - – While all potential dates are worth seeing, it’s the first run through that’s the best, and it’ll be less than 90 minutes long.
