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.

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.

A game that was completely developed during the lockdown – and is about it – is worth the current price it is currently listed at. With a total of 762 scenes and several hours of FMV footage to be seen in the game, there are many hours here for the player to experience with various dialogue options leading to different responses and outcomes. I wouldn’t pass this game up if you’re a fan of the Visual Novel genre, as this game is not complicated and provides many laughs in a romantic comedy fashion while raising the bar for expectations for this genre. This game was reviewed based on Xbox One review code, using an Xbox One console.
