A true indicator of a couple’s relationship doesn’t lie in flowers and romantic dinners. No, it’s about mettle — of partners overcoming great odds together, and still not being sick of each other’s faces the following day.
The good news is that you don’t have to hunt for pirate treasure like Uncharted’s Drake and Elena. Tempering your love life can be as “easy” as booting up these four PS4 co-op games (stress balls not included).
