Critic Reviews
DarkZero
By Ian HowarthThe story is told and then it ends, but it makes you feel like there should be more, leaving not a craving for another entry but slight disappointment that your curiosity isn't fully satiated.
Capsule Computers
By Travis BrunoSucker for Love: Date to Die For features expanded gameplay and emphasizes horror but limits routes as a result, instead focusing on providing a strongly written and unique take on love.
Screen Rant
By Deven McClureDespite its romance mechanic shortcomings and the fact the main character can sometimes feel a bit bland, the game still does a great job at being an engaging visual novel. The first Sucker for Love was more like a looser exploration of a silly idea, but Date to Die For has really taken those concepts and run with them to make something much more defined and worthwhile. Though largely leaning into raunchy humor and horror, the title still manages to raise a few poignant questions about just what love and death mean in its roughly five-hour runtime.
God is a Geek
By Lyle CarrSucker for Love: Date to Die For is an interesting visual novel blend of horror and romance, but it's just a little bit lacking in a few areas.
CGMagazine
By Lane MartinSucker for Love: Date to Die For was short, a little broken, but ultimately engaging and relatable. Just like my love life.
