Which one should you actually play?

How the score is made

Three steps, no editorial thumb on the scale

1. 01

   Your library goes in

   Import from Steam in one click, or rate a handful by hand. What you played and how long you stayed both count.

2. 02

   Six axes come out

   Story, exploration, atmosphere, combat, strategy, co-op. Loved and lived-in weighs more than bounced-off-in-an-hour.

3. 03

   Every game gets a number

   Scored against those axes plus review data and session fit — and each score opens into the six signals behind it.

Where the facts come from

Sourced, dated, and checkable on every page

Review counts, critic scores, playtime and prices are captured from Steam, Metacritic and HowLongToBeat, each stamped with the date it was read. Open any title and the figures are the same ones the recommender scored it on.
