The Backlog Advisor
Last reviewed 3 September 2026
The advisor looks at the games sitting in your backlog and picks the ones you are most likely to actually start. You can also ask for it in Discord with /backlog.
It is scored, not generated
Worth saying plainly, because "recommendation" usually means a language model these days. This one is arithmetic: every candidate earns points against a fixed set of weights that add up to 100, and the match percentage is a real percentage of a real total rather than a number a model felt like emitting. The same library on the same day gives the same answer.
What it reads
Your library and what you have done with it — what you have finished, what you dropped, what you rated and how, how big the backlog is, and what you tend to like. Games below a minimum score are left out entirely rather than padded in to make three.
It only suggests things you own
Nothing on your wishlist, nothing to buy. The whole point is the pile you already paid for.
If it has nothing to say
Your backlog is probably empty. Games arrive there from a platform import, or by setting a game's status to Backlog yourself — see what the library statuses mean.
If the suggestions are wrong
Rate a few more games. Scores you have given are the strongest signal it has, and a library it knows only the shape of is a library it can only guess at.
Did this answer your question?
One tap. It decides which answers we rewrite first.
Still stuck?
Both of these reach a person. Tell us what you tried — it saves a round trip.
