Any good games with no romance?

[bun]

Kind of a weird question. But are there any games with a good story to it that doesn't involve straight romance/relationships, or just no romance/relationships in general? (No offense at all! It just gets pretty boring and repetitive being in nearly every game with a story to it.) Maybe even recommendations for a game with an ace or gay main character? Thanks guys! :^) **Totally iso a detective game without that stuff as well!**

You can be gay in Mass Effect

…The only game that I know of which fits everything there is 2054: Read Only Memories. Also known as the previous holder of the title "Least cyberpunk cyberpunk game" until Cyberpunk 2077 was released.
>no romance
>good story
>gay protagonist
>detective game
…Granted the second point is debatable, as it's pretty much the plot of Snatcher except with AI instead of bioweapons, corporations instead of the Soviet Union, and also there is literally a character named ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

IIRC doesn’t have any romantic threads in it.

Whatever romantic expression would be very minor background elements.

(may toe too close to providing romantic angles, but they should largely be avoidable if one wishes)

Sam and Max games, and the Sherlock Holmes games are amazing. Just for you, my friend!

Just story-based games in-general that are published solely on Nintendo platforms.

So, Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin... almost all of these have fairly involved stories & no romance for each installment to the series.

Every game have romance on it but if you finding no romance game buy games like toy story

[Kargor]

Most games I've played don't seem to have romance-relationships in their stories.

Some let you do relationships with party members, but that's often completely optional and not part of the story. Like I generally ignore the guys for this.

[ReBoot]

The few games I found which have "romance" options have indeed options, so you can just ignore that stuff. Role-play that character that simply doesn't get involved into that stuff.

... or play a game that's got none of those. The Risen series, while being good RPGs,don't involve "romance" at all. Then there's games like Doom Eternal which are as asexual as things can get (unless you get turned on by shoving your sword into some demon's guts). Then there's Command & Conquer (no sexuality involved unless you wanna drool over a Jane Bond).

If you want to have gay "romance", there's a couple. Technomancer is the first coming to my mind.

This ^

I'd say far more games have no or optional romance options than it being a forced part of the story.

It may help if you explain what kind of games you are playing where this is a problem and what genre of games you want to play OP, give some examples.

There are loads of good story-rich games with no romance. Loads of ol' school adventures games have none and neither does most of the Spiderweb Software games. Gothic 2 has none either.

Total bro-mance games:

All the Sam & Max games.


This game is famous for its gay overtones but nothing happens and there's no obvious relationship...it's complicated...

I could do a list but it would go on for pages.
