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?

I use a wide variety of stuff, for example:

  • Reddit and lemmy threads
  • Internet searches for “games like X”
  • indie “best of” lists online
  • friends and coworkers
  • YouTube reviews of bigger titles, esp. the comments where people compare to other games
  • bundle sales, like on Fanatical and Humble
  • look up other games from devs who made other games I like

I don’t use Steam recommendations or any of those “tools” for finding new games. I just find I get better results from the above than from any recommendation engine.
