#22 Thirsty Suitors

Today we will be facing our seven-not-so-evil exes in Outerloop Games and Annapurna Interactives’ Thirsty Suitors. The best way to describe this game is a mix between Scott Pilgrim vs the World and the TV show Sex education, with turn-based battles and Tony Hawk-like skateboarding thrown in to add some spice to this already well seasoned game.

Its story of a 20-something Indian-American woman called Jala returning to her hometown with her tail between her legs is edgy, horny, touching and funny.

Though I don’t think the game nails exactly what it is going for, it is nevertheless one of the most interesting indies I have played this year and is a must play for anyone ticking games off of their best of 2023 list.

Which is shown in its Metracrtic scores sitting at an 80, 75, 77 and 75 on PC, Switch, Xbox and PS5 respectively.

HLTB has the game at around 8 hours for its story and around about 17 hours for completionist, so it is a quite short game if you plan to fit it in before the end of the year. What's more, if you have Xbox Games Pass, at the time of recording it is available there and that is where I played it.

But what makes Thirsty Suitors so interesting, why did it not quite nail the mark in my eyes and what is so damn horny about it? Let’s find out in this week’s episode of the Beat Your Backlog Podcast.
