For this list, we’re diving into video games with scenes or innuendos that bring the heat—whether it’s emotional romance, spicy moments of lust, or just plain cringe-worthy scenes that reveal a few developers' fetishes (let’s be honest: most fall into this last category).

Think we missed a steamy scene that *has* to be on a list like this? Don’t be shy, let us know in the comments!

Cropped Resident Ebil 4 — Resident Evil 4 — "A Sneak Peek at Ashley"

In *Resident Evil 4*, players got a slightly uncomfortable surprise when they realized they could "peek" up Ashley's skirt if they positioned the camera just right while Leon catches her from falling. It’s an odd addition to an otherwise tense and action-packed game about surviving a horrific plague! This scene often leaves players chuckling or cringing—was this feature really necessary? It’s a cheeky little detail, but let’s just say it’s not the most iconic moment in *Resident Evil* lore. | © Capcom

Cropped MGS Twin Snakes — MGS: Twin Snakes — "The Art of Tactical Voyeurism"

Leave it to *Metal Gear Solid* to blend stealth gameplay with…questionable voyeurism. In *Twin Snakes*, Snake can find himself sneaking around only to get distracted by peeping through vents at Naomi or Mei Ling, and the game certainly has fun with players’ reactions. It’s classic Hideo Kojima humor—mixing gritty military themes with bizarre moments like this. Whether you’re rolling your eyes or laughing along, it’s all part of the *MGS* experience. | © Konami

LOLLIPOP CHAINSAW Re POP — Lollipop Chainsaw — "Extra Ecchiness All Around"

*Lollipop Chainsaw* leans heavily into its over-the-top style with protagonist Juliet Starling, a cheerleader who fights zombies while wearing a barely-there outfit. But it’s not just her attire—the game peppers in lewd jokes and innuendos at every turn. Fans of campy, self-aware humor will probably love it, but for others, it’s a lot to take in! Love it or hate it, this game makes no apologies for its “ecchiness.” | © Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

Catherine MSN — Catherine — "Double (or Triple) Trouble"

In *Catherine*, Vincent’s love life takes a wild turn when he finds himself torn between two very different women—Katherine, his steady girlfriend, and Catherine, the mysterious seductress who appears in his life. But just when things couldn’t get more complicated, *Full Body*, the game’s re-release, introduces Qatherine (yes, a third option!), adding a whole new layer to Vincent’s romantic turmoil.

Each character brings unique quirks and desires, turning Vincent’s love life into a surreal, dream-like puzzle. *Catherine* cleverly mixes romance, temptation, and some hilariously cringey moments, making it a journey filled with both laughs and existential dread. It’s a love triangle… or should we say love quadrangle? | © Atlus

Cropped The Sims — The Sims — "Woohoo-ing Across Generations"

What would *The Sims* be without a little WooHoo? The franchise’s iconic euphemism for, well, “adult time” has been a fan-favorite feature across every installment. From heart-shaped hot tubs to closet quickies, *The Sims* finds plenty of creative places for couples to WooHoo. Though never graphic, it’s endlessly amusing to watch your Sims dive under the covers (or into a hot tub) as hearts fly around. It’s family-friendly flirtation at its finest! | © Electronic Arts

Cropped Far Cry 3 — Far Cry 3 — "A Bad Ending with Benefits"

In *Far Cry 3*, players who reach the "bad" ending are treated to a shocking scene where protagonist Jason Brody encounters Citra, the seductive yet dangerous tribal leader. Let’s just say it’s an ending where things get unexpectedly steamy—until it takes a dark, violent twist. It’s one of those moments that feels both intense and bizarre, capturing the unpredictable energy of the game. Just don’t expect a happily-ever-after! | © Ubisoft

Cropped Kirby — Kirby’s Dream Land — "Kirby and the Lady Level"

It’s hard to imagine *Kirby* getting suggestive, but there’s one level in *Kirby’s Dream Land* that has fans raising an eyebrow. Known by fans as the "lady level," this area features visuals that some say look a bit, well…let’s call it “questionable.” While it’s surely unintentional, it’s a reminder that even innocent games like *Kirby* can sometimes get unintentionally suggestive. | © Nintendo

Cropped Duke Nukem — Duke Nukem — "Girls, Girls, Girls!"

*Duke Nukem* is practically synonymous with over-the-top machismo, and that includes its portrayal of women. From exotic dancers to girls in distress, Duke’s world is filled with exaggerated, sometimes cringe-worthy female characters. Whether you find it comical or downright tacky, it’s all part of the classic Duke Nukem formula—though it’s probably not winning any points for modern sensitivity. | © 3D Realms

Cropped Heavy Rain — Heavy Rain — "Stripping, Suspense, and Beyond"

In *Heavy Rain*, Madison’s strip scene is meant to add tension and vulnerability, but it ended up being one of the game’s most polarizing moments. It’s a scene that toes the line between suspenseful and awkward, as Madison is forced to strip to gain information. Some players find it immersive, while others cringe at the abrupt tonal shift. Love it or hate it, it’s a memorable, if somewhat divisive, part of the game. | © Quantic Dream

Wolfenstein new order MSN — Wolfenstein: The New Order — "The Awkward Romance Scene"

Even *Wolfenstein* couldn’t resist adding a romance scene, albeit a somewhat clumsy one. BJ and Anya’s intimacy is set against a background of gunfire and Nazi-fighting, creating a scene that feels unexpectedly out of place. It’s a rare tender moment in a brutal world, but the contrast between action and romance is jarring, to say the least. It’s earnest, though a bit awkwardly timed. | © Bethesda Softworks

Cropped God of War — God of War III — "Aphrodite and Company"

In *God of War III*, players encounter Aphrodite in a scene that’s, let’s say, suggestive. Kratos can engage with her and her handmaidens, sparking one of the series' infamous quick-time events. It’s as gratuitous as it gets, but in a game filled with violence and mythology, it somehow fits right in. Only *God of War* could pull off something this unapologetically explicit. | © Sony Computer Entertainment

Cropped Mass Effect — Mass Effect — "Alien Affairs"

The *Mass Effect* series became famous for its romance options, and that includes some very out-of-this-world relationships. Whether it’s Liara, Tali, or Garrus, Commander Shepard’s intergalactic affairs bring romance to a sci-fi epic. Though not overly explicit, the romance scenes were groundbreaking in their inclusivity and depth, making alien love a beloved part of the franchise. | © BioWare

Cropped Dragon Age — Dragon Age — "Fantasy Love Across Cultures"

*Dragon Age* isn’t afraid to dive into the complex world of romance, featuring love interests from all walks of life (and fantasy species). From elves to Qunari, players can pursue relationships that break boundaries, complete with some tastefully risqué scenes. *Dragon Age* takes romance seriously, and the effort shows—it’s one of the rare games where love feels as epic as the battles. | © BioWare

The Witcher — "Geralt’s Collectible Card Collection"

In the first *Witcher* game, Geralt’s romantic encounters earn him collectible “cards” representing his love interests, which feel like trading cards of his escapades. It’s a playful (and maybe a bit outdated) take on romance, and by *The Witcher 3*, the series handled relationships with far more depth. Still, these cards remain a cheeky reminder of the series’ early days. | © CD Projekt Red

Cyberpunk 2077 — "Junk Customization"

*Cyberpunk 2077* got people talking before launch for one unique feature: players can customize their character’s “junk.” In true futuristic fashion, you can choose the specifics of your character’s anatomy, which was both shocking and amusing to many. The game’s attention to “detail” in adult themes doesn’t stop there, but this customization option set a whole new standard for player control. | © CD Projekt Red

Cropped Baldurs gate 3 — Baldur’s Gate 3 — "When Nature Calls… to the Bedroom"

*Baldur’s Gate 3* made waves with its unexpectedly explicit romance scenes, including one that, let’s just say, involves a druid transforming into a bear. The game lets players fully explore their characters' love lives, but this scene, in particular, had fans in a mix of shock and amusement. It’s as wild as fantasy romance gets, proving that anything is possible in Faerûn. | © Larian Studios

Cropped Grand Theft Auto San Andreas — GTA: San Andreas — "The Notorious 'Hot Coffee' Mod"

One of the most infamous moments in gaming, the *Hot Coffee* mod unlocked a hidden mini-game in *GTA: San Andreas* where CJ could, well, have a bit too much coffee with his dates. Rockstar’s attempt to scrub it from the game didn’t stop it from becoming a legend. It’s the ultimate gaming controversy—one that even non-gamers heard about! | © Rockstar Games

Leisure Suit Larry games — "Any Scene, Pick Your Poison"

*Leisure Suit Larry* is a series known for its tongue-in-cheek (and often cringeworthy) approach to adult content. From suggestive jokes to cheeky minigames, Larry’s adventures are all about the thrill of the chase. These games don’t shy away from adult themes, and for better or worse, they’re iconic for their shameless approach to love and lust. | © Sierra Entertainment

Cropped Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball — Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball — "Battle of the Bumps"

In *Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball*, it’s not just volleyball that’s bouncing around—this game became infamous for its extreme attention to physics, especially when it came to the character models. Set against sun-soaked beaches, the game follows fan-favorite *Dead or Alive* fighters, but here, the battles are less about combat and more about leisurely (yet somehow intense) beach activities.

The playful yet gratuitous jiggle physics turned heads and raised eyebrows, making it as much a spectacle as it was a beach game. Love it or roll your eyes at it, *Xtreme Beach Volleyball* doesn’t pretend to be anything other than eye candy with a side of volleyball. | © Tecmo

Ride to hell msn — Ride to Hell: Retribution — "Adult Scenes with Clothes Left On"

*Ride to Hell: Retribution* has the dubious honor of featuring what might be the least romantic love scenes in gaming. Yes, the characters keep their clothes on, which turns these moments from steamy to awkward in record time. As if the game’s rough mechanics and clunky storytelling weren’t enough, the fully-clothed intimacy scenes became the ultimate cringe, cementing *Ride to Hell* as a legendary gaming flop.

For all the wrong reasons, these scenes are unforgettable, adding one last unintentionally hilarious detail to a game that’s often regarded as a lesson in how not to make a video game. | © Deep Silver
