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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
