How this list is made

Each game is measured against each of your picks the way a games-like list measures it: the Steam community tags, Steam genres and IGDB themes they share, each counting for more the fewer games carry it. A game's place is how alike it is to your picks together, as a share of each pick's best match, so one alike to two of them comes before one alike to just one. It must be close to at least one of them, as close as it would have to be on that game's own list.

None of your picks is on the list, nor a second release of one, nor a game of their own series. Up to 30 games are shown. Under each name, the kinds it shares with the pick it is closest to, and how it differs from that pick.
