Games like The Enchanted Cave 2

A game is here when it shares the strongest of The Enchanted Cave 2'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 The Enchanted Cave 2'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. Games that share the same kinds with The Enchanted Cave 2 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 The Enchanted Cave 2: a kind of game it is that The Enchanted Cave 2 is not, a feature its strongest Steam tags carry that The Enchanted Cave 2's barely do, how many hours people play it beside The Enchanted Cave 2, and how its reviewers feel beside The Enchanted Cave 2's.
