aicariena started as a personal list of recommendations shared between us and our friends. It grew into something bigger — and we're glad it did.
We believe that shared play is one of the most underrated ways couples spend time together. The problem is that good couples games are buried under mountains of mediocre titles and pay-to-win mechanics.
aicariena exists to cut through that noise. We test every game ourselves, evaluate it specifically in the context of two players, and write honest reviews that help couples make informed choices — without any commercial influence.
Everything we publish is guided by a simple set of principles.
We never accept payment to feature or promote a game. If a title has flaws, our review will say so directly. Our readers trust us because we have no commercial conflicts.
Every game is evaluated through the lens of two players — not solo play, not large groups. We ask: does this game create shared moments? Does it work across different skill levels?
Games change. We revisit reviews when developers ship major updates and adjust ratings if quality improves or declines. Published dates show when content was last verified.
We consider whether games are accessible to casual players and note when a game requires significant time investment — because not all couples game at the same intensity.
A small team of gaming enthusiasts who all happen to be in relationships.
