Lovely thread. The kind of thread that makes me think it was made for me
I have to point out however that it's quite ironic to see The Awakening at the top of a list related to romance...
because i don't think that's very romantic at all
i still intend to play essentially all games listed here, but this one left me very disappointed lol
Thanks for your comment.
Just to clarify, I put the first 10 games with my personal favorites in no specific order. The only reason The Awakening is in first place is because she, Abby (the mom), is my favorite MILF (and mom) of all the games I've played.
That said, the game starts off with little romance with her, and stays that way for a while. The last update to the base game (not counting the prologue remake) is devoted entirely to her and is highly romantic. I don't know if you've already played it, so I won't give spoilers. But basically it's a pretty romantic update. Especially with her. I seem to remember making a comment in the game thread about that. There are moments that aren't romantic, but in the end it's all geared towards romance. And, as I said, the last update confirms that and I was quite satisfied with the outcome.
I know there are much, much more romantic game, but The Awakening is in my top simply because of it.
And it's always good to remember that Pixie (the fairy) is basically the one who "helps" her to awaken those feelings in her. So it doesn't seem at all odd to me that she would act that way in that scene. I would have preferred her to react differently too, but I get it.
And also to say that the games in this list don't have "earned" their place here. If one of them has any updates where I see the direction of the game changing or the romance is lost a lot, it will be gone from the list even if it is one of my favorites. That's why anyone is free to recommend or even say what they don't like about a certain game, like you did.
Sorry for a lot of text and again thanks for commenting.
