10 Most Underrated Romances In Video Games

1. Geralt And Yennifer €“ The Witcher Series

Geralt can romance many different women over the course of his trilogy, whether it be the medic Shani, the sorceress Triss or a slew of others. However, none can quite compare to Yennifer of Vengerberg. Many game fans probably prefer Triss, as she's been a core part of multiple games, but for those who've read the books the series is based on, Yen is the obvious choice. Most game romances depict the beginning of a relationship. Over the course of the story, the two parties will bond through adventure and shared dangers, and end by becoming a couple - you know how it is. In contrast, Geralt and Yennifer's relationship is one built on shared history. Each glance between the two of them speaks of their long and storied past together. They€™ve been on and off for the better part of two decades, during which time they€™ve battled innumerable monsters, become embroiled in political upheaval that shook the Continent, and even raised a 'daughter' together. One might just turn out to be the world's messiah. It€™s refreshing to see a game romance that shows the simmering, low burning love that forms after a long time together, and it goes without saying that these two have lived quite the life, with all the joy, sorrow, and needless drama that comes with nurturing a relationship alongside. Let us know in the comments what your most underrated video game romance is!
