What is 50 Games Like?
50 Games Like is a website focused on helping gamers find new games to play. The premise is simple - users enter a game they already enjoy, and the site's algorithm scans its database to identify 50 other games that have similar key elements.
Some of the criteria used to match games include gameplay mechanics, style/aesthetics, atmosphere, and general vibe or feel. So if you enter an RPG like Skyrim, it might recommend the Witcher series, Dragon Age, Kingdoms of Amalur etc. If you enter multiplayer shooters like Valorant, you may see suggestions for CS:GO, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, and more.
The benefit is it lets gamers branch out beyond the usual sequels and discover fresh series tailored specifically to their tastes. The site draws from games across platforms - PC, consoles, mobile, and browsers. The recommendations tend to spotlight newer releases, but also work to surface forgotten gems that could appeal.
While not every recommendation may prove an ideal match, it provides a useful starting point for building out your library. The site also lets you re-order and filter suggestions based on user ratings, platform, genre, and age. And you can keep iterating by using any of the 50 recommendations as a new search query to unlock another set of options.
