Honestly, I bought this game with high hopes after playing Five Dates. However, if you are a guy, the female characters in this game don't even come close to the acting of the female characters in Five Dates. Additionally, all of the characters in this game are quirky, which can be good to have some oddballs, but when everyone is quirky it becomes too much. Moreover, the mini-games in this game are not as fun as the …

Ten Dates does a great job of showing what it's like to try to make something out of speed dating. No matter who you engage with, short tales express an excellent story. However, if you want to get a true taste of what it's like to date a complete stranger, Five Dates is considerably more effective than this.

Modern media could take a lesson from this interactive game This game is one of the most real depictions of human interactions today that I wish all movies and TV shows would take a lesson from. It covers modern, controversial topics by providing real human responses and not just spouting polarized talking points. It has a variety of styles included, such as people with different backgrounds, personalities, and …

Sure I’ll give it a thumbs up, but I will say that there were parts of this game that became very repetitive and annoying. Even when skipping scenes you’ve already seen, to get all of the accomplishments you have to go through the characters over and over again. The acting is fantastic, the characters are fun, and it plays out more like a TV show then a game, giving you a 90% reality show with a 10% gameplay. I wish …

10 Dates gives you two different character storylines you can go down which is great but the characters and options are not as interesting or fun as Five Dates. If you want to play a dating sim go for it but this one just isn't nearly as strong as Five Dates. I need more crazy dates.

While playing Five Dates, u can feel the vibe of 2 strangers enjoying each other time, try to chit chat here n there, and try to show empathy with a bit touch of awkwardness around. But Ten Dates just rushing everything. This did great while u in the speeding dating survey through candidates, but it still keep going at the 2nd and 3rd date.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i felt Five dates much more even entertaining as you find so much dating one person. ten dates is like a rushing game, doesnt really makes me intrigued by playing this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The "Five Dates" magic is officially dead. What made the first game great was that raw, DIY quarantine energy. It felt real. Ten Dates replaces that soul with high-end cameras and a professional crew, but forgets to bring the personality. It’s like moving from a cozy, awkward Zoom call to a scripted reality show where everyone is trying way too hard. I’m not dating people anymore; I’m just clicking through a corporate romance movie.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, but after playing Five Dates this game is disappointing as a sequel. It feels less personal and not as lively as Five Dates. The game captures the awkwardness of speed dating well, but I didn't care much for the choices I had to date either.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: I do recommend if you want to focus on F4M interactions. However, M4F is a letdown to me. I found all choices poorly written and generally not interesting. PROS: ➕Man/Woman lead option this time ➕Solid music ➕HD FMV ➕Excellent skipping features NEUTRALS: 🔹As a man lead, I wanted the option to date the woman lead, but not possible CONS: ➖Doesn’t display question text on screen while you make a choice (paused mode) ➖If M4F, only four choices, one less than last game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the concept itself is great and it's clear a lot of hard work went into the writing, recording and creation of the game itself I honestly can't recommend the final product. After 3 successful dates the game just kind of ends with a "And they lived happily ever after." I might be missing something honestly but I really don't understand the 10 dates title. I was expecting more from this game in terms of exploring relationships and the differences between two people in said relationships.…

Anytime you try have a more masculine or guy esc answer the women take displeasure in it and you girl friend even scolds you for “conforming to gender standards” Also they throw in some random "oh im an immigrant from the middle east and my family is gone probably" but shes also the most materialistic of the whole group and comes off extremely fake and controlling of sorts

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would like to say I preferred Five Dates, mainly because of the casting — and casting is a big part of this kind of game. Still, Ten Dates is a unique experience. The script is really well written: it manages to be cringe when it needs to be, caring and passionate when there’s genuine chemistry between characters. All of that works thanks to a strong scenario. I don’t want to spoil anything, but with the male character I found most dates a bit disappointing — maybe intentionally, to reflect…

As Misha and Ryan navigate the unpredictable world of modern dating, players are invited to join them on their quest for love, making choices that shape the course of their romantic escapades. One of the standout features of "Ten Dates" is its innovative use of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend the game for one simple reason. As ryan (Male mc), all the option I got range from mediocre to bad. The game mechanics itself is fine, slightly more interesting than the last one. But if the prize itself is not attractive, there isn't really the motivation to progress. Seriously, I would rather date Misha the (female Mc) or Hazel (the female option for Misha) than the other girls, this is how bad they have design the characters's personality to be. I don't even think that…

After playing I checked the store page and read "Authentic representation of groups including but not limited to; disability, neurodiversity and LGBTQ+" listed as a feature and it all just made sense. I thank god every day for not making me British.

neutral · AI labelView post →10 Dates, well it has a 1 in it but it's not 10. When you go into playing this game you have to realise that it wont be anywhere near as long as you think, in fact it's incredibly short as there's only going to be about 1 choice you don't dislike from the get go. The problem is they stereotype the characters so you just get a caricature of a type of person. They also need you to align exactly with their thinking and personality which means you have to pigeon hole your character to be some…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I expected this to be better than the prequel, but sadly the setting as well as most of the actors are a massive downgrade compared to "Five Dates". I played as Misha and first of all, why is her way of talking so... sarcastic and bratty? This made all the interactions super uncomfortable. She also had zero chemistry with anyone but the female dating option. Maybe the actress is lesbian xD It certainly would explain a lot.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →thanks to this game now i know that even if i was a woman i would still be single
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They could have left the 10 characters open for both Ryan and Mysha. There is no option to not show interest, even those who I found unbearable (in the end the main character told their friend that they were interested). From a more personal opinion, the male options are unbearable, except for two (the smart guy and the techie). I feel like they could have explored the interactions and story better. In summary: I recommend five dates, but not ten dates. Too Shallow.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome British FMV dating sim! (IMHO better guy routes than the girls). I love the mashup of FMV/dating sim, hope more games do this! Lots of different personalities to choose, love the inclusion of LGBT options and male or female MC. The acting is great, the transitions are smooth, the music is catchy, the London nightlife transitions really help set the mood! Having three dates is a somewhat short snapshot of their relationships, but it works. Misha has great chemistry with everyone…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ten Dates The title of the game might already give it away but we're going on dates! In this FMV game you see Misha tricking her best friend Ryan into going speeddating with her. You play as either Misha or Ryan while they meet all very different people during the event. The choices you make changes the story and your chances on a second date and or third date! The game is so much fun playing and watching. The actors did an amazing job with bringing across the different personalities. Some…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This sequel is such a big a leap forward from Five Dates. Not to say Five Dates is bad but they added a lot more complexity to the dates and I really applaud the writer Zoe. Misha is absolutely adorable and as a straight man it was so interesting to play as her. I wanted to give Bash a chance but he was so gross at times despite their banter being so cute. Meanwhile Jake is so dang wholesome how could I not want Misha to choose him, and be safe and happy forever? The women to date too were…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shallow and boring. I should've refunded the game but thought I'd try a replay at some point as I like the development company.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ten Dates : 82/100 Really liked the acting and dialogues. Camera work and mimics were wonderful. Quality was like watching a TV Show. It was a nice couple of hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked it, although most of the guys sucked. I liked the acting, the cute friendship between the characters and the fact that there were LGBT+ options - and they were some of the best characters, tbh . Honestly, I'm surprised that people are so upset about the fact that in a game with so many straight options, there was two LGBT+ options, and giving bad reviews based on that. Come on, really? Imagine if I gave a bad review for every game with straight romance options. lol I think that many…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this game isn't better than Five Dates, it is a good sequel. You have the option to play as Misha or Ryan. Personally, Misha is way better than Ryan. Both of them have 5 options featuring one LGBTQ+ option. The game is more fast-paced as it feels like the moment you're on a date it's already over. Bash, Lucas, Toni, and Brandy are my favorites.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super, super cute game! If you enjoyed Five Dates, I think you'll enjoy this one even more. This time you get to go out (post quarantine), and can be either male or female. I've played as male (so far), and I ended being single on my first playthrough, lol. On my second, I had to retry several times before I got the results I wanted, but that's the fun of a game like this. In real life there are no do overs. *sobs*
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the game as Misha, had an excruciating series of dates with an AI lover, a teacher who quizzed me (orange DOES have words that rhymes, mate), a biker who will definitely marry his helmet in the future and a man who just up and ran out on me. Met a woman at the bar afterwards and life is immediately not at all terrible. Snuggled with her in the end and quit the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Script and characters are bad, it's so cliché and childing even it kills half the interest of discovering the story and the people. A few actors are great, female lead is fine but I've had more fun in crapy cringy sim games. + the size of the content is pretty bad for the price, can't relate to the positiv reviews. I did the first one and wasn't really positiv, this one is worse like way worse, select the wrong answer you loose a match, out of 5 option barely a few half decent. Honestly stay…

I only played the male MC, so don't know if the female MC's routes were the same, but the male MC was given a chance to speak to five potential dates: four females and one gay male. During the discussions with the dates, the MC had to make choices as to how to respond or sometimes what actions to take, and the story progressed accordingly. Choices certainly matter in this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game that simulates speed dating where many of the choices and questions have consequences on the outcome of the game, that makes the game have replay-ability, This is one of the better FMV games ever made. Why couldn't we have this in the 90's as this shows that you don't kneed special effects or Expensive shots to have a great FMV game.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where do I even start with this... I felt like it was more a political commentary by a bunch of "friends" pushing agenda's then an actual game with real choices and coincidences. First, It starts out by meeting this guy who is an engineer and the question is like have the world be taken over by AI. Then he asks... would you be for AI ruling the world? I choose YES. She then two seconds in says AI scares me. (NO. I said I am FOR AI taking over). Then... the next guy... He goes to shake my hand…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ten Dates, developed by Wales Interactive in partnership with Good Gate Media, is an engaging continuation of the studio’s interactive film series that examines love, chemistry, and the unpredictable nature of human connection in the modern age. As the successor to Five Dates, it expands on the concept of digital romance by trading video calls for in-person encounters, following two protagonists—Misha and Ryan—as they each navigate five potential romantic interests. The game’s structure allows…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes, I really enjoyed the game, the layout of the game is so simple that I thought I am buying it from a free website! But it just shows how the developer makes the game very eazy to approach with design wise. I enjoyed the realism that the game offers, in one scenario when you choose the gay option. The partner we engage with actually ask if we are actually gay because we dont look like it, and I actually think so as well! Its a reality hit for me that I have my own bias about how would…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far, I've played as Misha and found some guys either awkward or overconfident. Only the teacher guy seemed okay but i didn't hit it off with any, but i got along with that girl at the bar the most(forgot her name). Perhaps that is a cliche. Here to people got turned off pretty much easy and had big deal breakers, but why judge. I got to experience a bit as to how girls feel when looking at men. Even now the tension between Misha and her guy friend seemed least, they were most comfortable…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got happy endings for both of the characters! YAY!! I soooo rarely get happy endings lol great game :) I wish they’d make a game like this for older characters, it’d be interesting to see older characters get into speed dating heh
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was not expecting an erotic game but I was expecting things more idk adventrous? There is another game called complex in the same creator and the decisions give you more different endings like between life and death. But for this one, you will just change the context and conversation and you will see a photo of the couple. You will not see how this relationship change you, is it a good or bad decision. You will just see it is a decision or not. Pointless and boring to me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The acting in Ten Dates is a mixed bag. Some of the actors are quite good, while others are a bit wooden. The dialogue is also a bit hit or miss, with some lines that are genuinely funny and others that are just plain awkward. However, I do appreciate that there are so many options to pick from in Ten Dates. There are ten different dates to choose from, each with its own unique personality. This gives the game a lot of replay value, as you can try different combinations of dates to see what…
