What do you guys use? I personally like Glitchwave for it’s powerful chart building and the user reviews as a whole tend to align with my own.
Backloggd also pretty cool but a little more limited to use, and harder to dig up the old old stuff as its algorithms strongly favor newer.
Anyone else use these or have recommendations of their own?
Steam Discovery/New Releases Queue! I’ve found a tonne of cool games, both old and new and popular and niche, just by flicking through the queues when I wanted something new to play.
IDK, I’ve been through like 20 queues (I have 162 games viewed) and have maybe found one or two interesting games. I get far more success just searching “best indie games” or “games like X” or threads on Reddit/lemmy recommendation threads (by far my biggest source of wishlisted games).
Yeah, I usually find these gems a year or two late, but that’s kind of the point of patient gaming, right? I probably also miss a ton of gems, but I don’t have time to play the games I already have, so I don’t worry about it.
I still do try the queue from time to time, but mostly because watching trailers is sometimes fun.
This is how you end up with way too many games in the wishlist
Steam discovery saw me playing a bunch of building games and showed me From the Depths. What an absolute gem, I would never have found it otherwise. Avorion too.
