4. Too Hot to Handle
Netflix boasts that Too Hot to Handle: Love is a Game is one of its most-played games to date. After all, it is based on its ultra-popular dating show Too Hot to Handle. The dating simulator allows players to build their own character before getting thrown into a hot, steamy, romantic location, just like the show, to meet attractive singles.
Will the next Too Hot to Handle game be similar? We're unsure. Aside from revealing that it will be partnering with Nanobit again for the next game, we have no idea what this new game will bring.
