Too many games is an innovative video games recommendation service brought to you by passionate gamers. Please keep in mind that currently we are in “deep-alpha” state. Bugs and such are to be expected.

We appreciate your feedback concerning any aspect of the service. Do not hesitate to share any ideas as well.

How it works

Using Web APIs provided by Valve we are extracting interesting relations between most modern video games. Thanks to that, we are able to provide fairly good recommendations based on a player's known interests.

We are trying to combine several “Big Data” techniques to achieve the best results. Our algorithms are currently evolving dramatically on almost daily basis and, of course, this fact may (and will) affect the recommendations quality and overall site performance.

Limitations

First thing, only Steam games are currently covered by the service. Current sample of users we are using for discovering games’ relations is pretty small (to keep calculations’ times reasonable). So some games may miss proper relations due to too small amount of links between them in our sample. Same goes for new games - we may miss some of them.

Currently we are not aiming at “catch all” approach. Main priorities are stabilization of our algorithms and interfaces.

When the main workflow will be settled we are going to use much bigger sample of users to minimize statistical errors and cover as many games as we can.

Upcoming features

Recommendations wizard

We are aiming at creating an ultimately cool and helpful games recommendations search interface. We hope your feedback will help us to shape it and polish to perfection. List of subfeatures:

  • games like this
  • additonal tags filtering
  • boosting tags or features (e.g. “boost new” or “boost rpg”)
  • gamer's profile
  • “likes” and “dislikes” permanent lists

Sign in with Steam

Knowing the games you own we may give you a good personal recommendation right away. Also we will not recommend the games you already have.

2mg map

We spent a lot of time looking at games and their relations. “Why not put it on a map?” we thought. And so we did.

The design is not yet addressed on the following image, but you may get a rough idea of how it may look like:

Apart from just exploring your favorite games’ “regions” and finding their connections, all kinds of interesting things may be observed on this map. For example a few curious facts:

  • Fighting games are farther than racing games from shooters, and merging quickly into arcade platformers
  • Hidden objects games is almost an island on our map - so separated the genre is
  • The biggest node on our map (hence the biggest game on Steam) is... see in our next episode
