The loop
How it works
Four steps, ending in games you'd never have found. The last one keeps getting sharper the more people take part.
The steps
Link Steam
Sign in and connect your Steam account. Your owned games, wishlist and playtime come across automatically — nothing to type in, nothing to tag.
Score your games
Give each game a number out of ten, and a short written review if you feel like it. Think Letterboxd, for the games already on your shelf. Your library becomes a record of what you actually thought.
Find your Helixers
Once you've rated enough games, Helix Gamer surfaces the players whose scores genuinely track with yours — from a loose overlap to a near-mirror of your taste. Each one sits in a tier based on how tightly you line up.
Discover your next game
The people who agree with you become your discovery engine. When a cluster of your closest matches all rate a game highly — a genre you'd skip past, something you've never heard of — that's your next one to try. It sharpens every time someone rates honestly.

See how close a match can get
Every player you match with lands in one of five tiers, from "worth a follow" to a once-in-a-library near-perfect mirror.
