Hi, I tried it a couple of times but unfortunately in my case recommendations were mediocre

Hi, thanks for sharing this website, I will take a look

Hi, this is good feedback. I have a similar problem with algorithms like those on YouTube or Netflix because:

1. I don’t know what the algorithm thinks I like.
2. I don’t know how to influence it beyond liking or disliking things.

The same applies to Steam recommendations. I’ve noticed it tries to recommend games based on my wishlist, but the issue is that adding a game to my wishlist doesn’t necessarily mean I like it or want to play it, or want similar recommendations.

Would you be satisfied with a game recommendation algorithm if you could see what it thinks you like (e.g., your top 5 preferred genres or dislikes) and be able to fine-tune it to produce more personalized recommendations? For example, you could tell the algorithm that you like sci-fi and that it should prioritize sci-fi games.

Nice to see you tried VR already. Yeah, VR games are in hopeless condition unfortunately. I really hope I can return one day, maybe Steam Frame release will change anything, we will see.

Thanks for sharing that webpage with retro games, appreciated 👍

Hi, I see, thanks for your thoughts. I often have similar feeling, but in my case it mainly caused by the fact that I like multiplayer/MMO games and current multiplayer/MMO games are trash, and old one I loved to play have servers offline for a long time now.

Maybe you should just relax for a little and switch to something else like tabletop games, or even to movies/series/books.

The only recommendation I can give you that worked for me a few years ago - try VR games if you still haven’t. I guarantee that you will be positively shocked by experience even if you have just a headset (you don’t need a west, a treadmill, etc.). The cons of that solution is the you need rather powerful PC (the best VR games now exist only on PC, games that run directly on a headset 90% of time are bad) + you need to buy a VR headset (but I recommend you to buy used one, Quest 3 for overall ok experience, Valve Index if you have money, Quest 2 or Pico 4 if you low on money) + there is only a bunch of VR games exist that are worth playing, so after a while you may be bored.

Hi, that’s true. I thought to focus on games from GOG’s library, because their support for a bunch of old games allows to play those games even on modern computers.

But yeah, there is a lot of good old games that will require shenanigans to play them nowadays

Hi, that’s actually a great suggestion, thank you

Hi, yeah, I tried that, but unfortunately it does mediocre recommendations in my case

Thanks for sharing that webpage, I see some cool games present there

Hi, if an algorithm will only have info that you like Tetris, in current state it will lead you to different tetris “clones” or “modern tetris” stuff 😅

Hi, interesting, thanks for sharing. I have never heard about this website before, but I will give it a try
