Every time I use Steam’s discovery queue or any “what to play next” site, I get bombarded with stuff from the last 6 months. I get it - that’s what generates clicks and sales - but it’s genuinely unhelpful for how most of us here actually want to play.
I’ve been quietly working on a tool to change that. The core idea - your taste doesn’t have an expiration date, so recommendations shouldn’t either. Something from 2011 that fits exactly what you’re looking for should surface just as easily as a 2024 release.
It’s early and rough around the edges, but I’m at the point where I want to validate whether this is even a problem worth solving for other people or just a me.
If a recommendation algorithm for games like this existed - smarter discovery that actually respects older games - would you use it?
What features would make it genuinely useful vs just another thing you try once and forget about? I want it to be the tool someone actually recommends to a friend, not just upvotes and forgets.
Deku Deals has recommendations and rankings now. It might work better for you. In my case the recs are games I would like to play.
Hi, interesting, thanks for sharing. I have never heard about this website before, but I will give it a try
You can have a collection and a wishlist. If you rate your collection it will help with recommendations.
