Right, exactly something like that, but with a bit more of a gameplay
Yeah, exactly, Habitica applies the same principle
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:
- I don’t know what the algorithm thinks I like.
- 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.
Hi, no. You can also be here on Lemmy. Here is the link to the app -> app.gamescovery.com.
The reason I'm asking people to join our Discord or Lemmy is because:
- The app is untested, so I want to improve it with the community's help before sharing the link publicly.
- I want to receive feedback from users and invite them to our community. I thought it would be a good idea to ask people to join Discord or Lemmy first, so they have a place to share feedback when they try the app for the first time.
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
Hey all,
Small update - finally had time to rebuild our landing page. You can check it out at gamescovery.com - new design, way more info about what we're actually building, and details on how the beta's going if anyone's curious.
If you've got 30 seconds -> please, click around and tell me what sucks. Is anything confusing? Does it load like garbage on your phone? Does it make you want to actually try the beta or does it sound like every other "revolutionary" gaming tool out there?
No wrong answers, just looking for honest reactions.
Have a great day :)
After yesterday’s post, a user requested a 3D genre map to better analyze the data. After some experimentation, I created the visualization. It should now display genre clustering more effectively than a 2D version.
The visualization is interactive - static images can’t capture its complexity, so rotation is necessary to interpret the data properly. To run it locally, download the following HTML file and open it in any modern web browser. After a brief load, you can interact with the visualization directly.

Feedback or suggestions are welcome.

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share some data visualizations I’ve been working on. The images below show how different game genres cluster in the Gamescovery database. The data’s still a work in progress, but the overall patterns look interesting so far.
⚠️ These diagrams might not perfectly represent every genre. Mapping multidimensional data to 2D is tricky, and results can vary depending on the algorithm (I picked the one I think fits the best). There’s also some inconsistency in the genre data itself - so if something looks off on both images, let me know, and I’ll double-check it manually.
Have a nice day :)
