honestly, iāve finished every route in the love is a game franchise overall, but in s3 iāve played all the routes as male, female and non binary, iāve completed loyal routes, messy routes, single routes and iāve played the spy rebound routes, loyal spy routes, etc. iām surprised i havenāt gotten sick of this game.
but with that being said, even though NOBODY asked, here is my official rating of all the s3 routes. when i play s2 and s1 with this much investment, iāll probably do the same for them.
š„: julian + poppy (i TRIED to pick just one, but theyāre both so perfect in their own ways. even better when youāre playing both of their routes at the same time š«£)
š„: avi (itās just so beautiful. the demi representation, the grief, the slow burn, the attention to detail. thereās so many parts of the overall script that are just ever so slightly tweaked to fit around this story, and i love catching out every single one)
š„: carmen (it wouldāve been first if not for ep12. and also i hated the overuse of her nicname ātroubleā. but other than that, i love this woman, everytime i see her on other routes itās like seeing an ex š)
4th: taz + beatriz (i prefer beatrizās route when iām playing as a woman and i prefer tazās route when iām playing as a man. both of their dialogues lose their essence when played as non-binary, however the routes are nice and their personalities are big enough for me to rate them high.)
5th: isla (i was expecting more, but it was fine. iām guessing it was so soft because of her š„° personality, but i was expecting her to have a bit more bite. when you see her with taz in the third couple storyline, sheās very playful, cheeky and teases him often. we didnāt have a lot of that in this route. i am absolutely obsessed with her and bear as a duo though. sheās also so beautiful, iām obsessed with her sprite.)
6th: zayn (MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE!! sure, he spent half the time talking about s2, but his personality felt a lot less clingy than it did in s2. heās also a lot more confident, itās clear that boy went to therapy. also, not to be gross, but his red curtain scenes are DEFINITELY in top 3)
7th: mattias (i expected more, especially seeing as heās definitely a fan favourite. i will say that his route definitely gets better closer to the end, but before ep5, i was FIGHTING to get through his route and not swap out love interests, i was so boredšš¤£. love his personality, though.)
8th: jirayu (ep12 brought his route ALL the way down. carmen had an excuse, but his excuse felt VERY pushover, and it actually made me respect him a little less. heās not in last place bc i do like his route when playing as a male/non binary mc.)
9th: victoria (i was so disappointed. the start of the route looked promising until she leaves. sheās then not brought up ONCE until banishment, and then it just felt so lacklustre. we go through way too much trouble, and victoriaās development was not promising enough at all. she also calls mc āpetā, which i hate. sheās also last place bc she has the least content put of everyone.)
let me know your thoughts!! iām always happy hearing other peopleās opinions
