For Steam players

Recommendations from people who
actually share your taste

Steam knows what you own and how long you played it. It doesn't know what you loved, what you bounced off, or who feels the same way. Helix Gamer starts from real opinions — yours and everyone else's.

The loop

How it works

Four steps. The last one keeps getting sharper the more people take part.

01

Link Steam

Your owned games and wishlist come across automatically. One tap, no re-entering anything.

02

Score your games

Give every game a number out of ten. Add a short written review if you want. Think Letterboxd, for the games on your shelf.

03

Find your Helixers

Rate enough games and Helix Gamer surfaces the players whose scores genuinely track with yours — from a loose match to a near-mirror of your taste.

04

Get real recommendations

If the people who agree with you on 30 games all rate something a 9, that means more than any algorithm. Their libraries become your recommendation engine.

Why it's different

Built from opinions, not genre tags

Recommendations everywhere are built from genre tags and what's trending — not from whether you and another person actually agree about the same games.

Helix Gamer only ever matches you on the games you've both rated and how you rated them. A person who scored the same 30 games within a point of you is a signal you can trust. A person who just happens to like the same genre isn't.

The more people rate honestly, the sharper it gets — for everyone.

The ladder

Your Helixers

Every person you're matched with sits in a tier, based on how many of your scores line up exactly.

Worth a FollowA handful of scores in common — enough to keep an eye on.
Similar TastesA clear pattern of agreement starting to form.
DoppelgängerYou two genuinely line up. Their picks are worth acting on.
Helix SiblingA near-mirror of your taste across a lot of games.
Helix GodThe rarest tier. Someone who scores games almost exactly like you do.
