Love is in the air this Valentine’s season and at Overclockers UK we’re celebrating by showcasing a selection of our favourite gaming couples who are truly #goals. Whether they are conquering evil Koopa Kings, uncovering mysteries, defeating enemies, or solving puzzles, these couples have stuck together time and time again.
Mario and Peach
Mario and Peach are the classic duo that set the standard for relationships everywhere. The hard-working plumber defies all to rescue the Princess from the grips of an evil Koopa King. It’s the stuff fairytales are made of. Their storylines are timeless, as Mario embarks on countless adventures and even puts his and his brother’s lives on the line to save Peach.
Chloe and Rachel
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a heart-wrenching story of secrets and navigating the troubles of teenage life. At the centre of this is the beautiful love between Chloe and Rachel.
As their story plays out through the game’s episodes, it is the perfect reminder of the whirlwind of emotions that come with falling in love.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is the prequel set before the events of the original game. In the Remastered Collection you can return to Arcadia Bay and relive the stories with enhanced graphics and animation. You can find out more about the Life is Strange Remastered Collection and our top laptops to play in our dedicated blog post.
Cody and May
Cody and May’s relationship is at the centre of the gameplay in It Takes Two. After being transformed into tiny dolls by an evil witch, this gaming couple must embark on a journey to undo the curse and fix their relationship, sound simple right? Working together to navigate the strange around and solve the series of complex puzzles and challenges results in their love rekindling. A true testament to the power of teamwork.
Bella and Mortimer
Bella and Mortimer are the faces of The Sims franchise. They are the ultimate gaming couple whose relationship spans across all four games. Throughout the series, players can experience the rise and fall of their relationship. From their childhood beginnings in The Sims 3, the heart-breaking alien abduction in The Sims 2, to their current idyllic life in Willow Creek.
With Sims 5, codenamed Project Rene, officially in the works, we hope this timeless gaming couple make their return in the next Sims game. For now, check out all the details we know so far about Project Rene.
Geralt and Yennefer
Made even more popular by the Netflix TV show, the love story between Geralt and Yennefer is one full of danger, adventure, and magic. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt and Yennefer unite to save Ciri from the Continent’s deadly grasp. Whilst the journey they go on is full of challenges and deadly foes to conquer, the iconic duo still find time for the occasional bicker or sarcastic remark. True love, eh?
