Games like Boris and the Dark Survival

A game is here when it shares the strongest of Boris and the Dark Survival's Steam community tags, Steam genres and IGDB themes, each shared tag counting for more the fewer games carry it: two metroidvanias are alike, two action games barely. Games of Boris and the Dark Survival's own series that play like it stand apart, above the list, and take no place on it. A similar typical length breaks near-ties, and a game sold twice is shown once. A game Steam marks adult-only is listed only for a game that is one too. Games that share the same kinds with Boris and the Dark Survival stand together, under those kinds. Up to 30 games are shown, and the list stops where they grow much less alike. Where to start: the closest; the best loved of the closest fifteen with 10,000 reviews or more; the shortest of the ones 80% or more recommend; and a hidden gem, 90% or more but under 10,000 reviews.

Under each name, how it differs from Boris and the Dark Survival: a kind of game it is that Boris and the Dark Survival is not, a feature its strongest Steam tags carry that Boris and the Dark Survival's barely do, how many hours people play it beside Boris and the Dark Survival, and how its reviewers feel beside Boris and the Dark Survival's.

The sticker on a case is the hours its own page leads with: half of the game's Steam reviewers had played that long or less when they gave their verdict. It is not a time to beat. Under a name, the share of its Steam reviewers who recommend it: loved at 90% or more, liked at 80%, mixed at 65%.
