Interactive video game recommendation engine
An interactive video game recommendation engine helps players discover new titles based on their preferences, genres, and past gaming habits.
Background
nodal.gg is a new interactive video game recommendation engine. Instead of relying on algorithms or curated lists, it presents users with a visual, node-based interface where they can explore games connected by shared features (genre, developer, theme, mechanics). Users click through nodes to discover titles they might not find on traditional storefronts like Steam or Metacritic. The site is notable for taking a "discovery-first" approach that prioritizes exploration over search, drawing inspiration from interactive graph databases and community-driven curation. It matters because game discovery is notoriously difficult — storefronts are dominated by major releases, and recommendation algorithms often reinforce popular titles rather than surfacing hidden gems.
