However, if the sale is over by the time you read this, it’s still worth picking up any of these touching romance games.

Here’s the top ten romantic games currently discounted in the Steam Summer Sale. 

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!

While most people know that there are twists and turns in Doki Doki by now, Plus adds so much more to it.

The original moved people with its touching portrayal of mental health issues mixed with fully dimensional characters.

One of the strongest stories in all of video games, it has reached infamy for its amazing review scores.

The House in Fata Morgana is now 35% off, and you can pick it up for £12.34 / $16.24.

Persona 5 Royal

Often thought of as one of the best games of all time, Persona 5 Royal is half dungeon crawling RPG and half high school simulator.

Persona is the story of getting to know who you truly are, and of course there are plenty of dating options.

Blue Reflection

The most action orientated of all of the games on this list, Blue Reflection has a strong emphasis on surreal melee combat.

As with all romance games you deepen your relationships with the other students in your school, and then fight battles in ‘The Common’ to help solve their problems.

At its heart Blue Reflection is a story of characters, but the battles will keep you on your toes.

Blue Reflection is available at 60% off, and you can buy it for £19.99 / $23.99.

A dating game where you get to know realistic pigeons may sound a bit silly, and it definitely is.

No matter which path you take, the story will never go where you are expecting.

Hatoful Boyfriend can be grabbed at 75% off for a tiny £1.25 / $1.24.
