Magic 8-Ball for game recommendations (new and improved Mark III)

Playing
1

I’ve been tinkering with the IFDB database to try to figure out how to improve game recommendations. In today’s exciting episode, instead of trying to customize game recommendations for a particular user, I’m trying to figure out how to find “games you might like if you like Game X” with the specific goal of not always recommending super-popular games.

I’m nicknaming the current version “Magic 8-Ball” because it seems to be about that reliable, i.e. emphasis on might like. Here are some examples…

[EDIT: Note that it is being improved based on feedback from this thread, so you might want to look at the latest batches near the bottom of the thread to judge its utiity.]

What do you think? Is it working?

I think it’s…
  • working well
  • mostly working
  • half-working
  • working a little
  • not really working at all

Counterfeit Monkey and 9:05 seem like an odd connection, with little in common than written by authors who go started in the 90s. Counterfeit Monkey is a sprawling word game puzzler, while 9:05 is a shortish game, which I can’t say more about without spoiling it.

But that said, I appreciate you’re working on this project. The recommendations I get currently on ifdb are always a little odd.

I think it might be interesting to consider some more recent and less-rated choice games:

A Paradox Between Worlds
Computerfriend
The Trials and Tribulation of Edward Harcourt
Excalibur
The Bones of Rosalinda

It would be interesting, too, to see why a game was recommended–i.e. what it has in common with the original game.

To both of you: Do any of those pairings make sense, based on your experiences?

Those look like solid recommendations to me, yes.

A lot of these recommendations are games I haven’t played. Setting those aside, probably over half of what was left were decent recommendations based on the original game, and the other suggestions were either so-so or didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Also, this was an intriguing pairing, considering that the games have something major in common that one of the games does not have in its tags, probably because it’s a spoiler.

The suggestions under Prince Quisborne that I am familiar with seem like pretty decent picks! I haven’t played Once and Future but @rovarsson played it soon after Quisborne and found a lot of things comparable.

Another dozen examples. (It certainly seems to be good at introducing new games.)

Huh, this looks it’s working quite well – is one element of it looking at games mentioned in reviews? Otherwise it’s kind of uncanny that an old game like Lock & Key would point first of all to a game from last year’s EctoComp, because I’m not sure what other data from IFDB would pick up on the fact that the premise and mechanics are actually very similar!

EDIT: oh duh, it’s the tags: “dungeon creation”, only two games listed, guess which they are!

EDIT 2: actually it’s looking like the tags are quite powerful – I was curious about Unscientific Fiction, since I’ve never heard of it and it showed up on a couple lists. Turns out it doesn’t have an especially high average or number of ratings, but does share the low-entry “slapstick” tag (only 7 games) with Alias ‘The Magpie’… Not saying that’s a bad approach at all, it’s just interesting to think about (especially since I personally never tag stuff on IFDB, but maybe that would be helpful!)

I wonder if a game’s references/connections should be considered.

I think it would be really great if you’d share the code publicly, so we can collaborate on it with you.

I was puzzling over some of these recommendations, but I think it must be the “twins” tag that prompted these suggestions:

I still haven’t figured out this one:

We don’t have many tags about the overall mood or feel of a game, I don’t think. I wonder if that might improve results. It would probably also be pretty subjective, though.

Some of these seem entirely random, but some make a lot of sense! Can definitely see the similarities between Studio & I Am Prey for example, and Galatea & Gestures Toward Divinity. But ones like Galatea → Lost Pig I’m kind of at a loss for.

For that last one they’re both in “recommended for beginners” (only 22 games) and “strong characterization” (only 6), beyond being older parser games that have won a lot of awards which also generates shared tags (like all the top-50 tags).

A few more ideas:
-Have the cruelty rating be factored into the recommendations
-Only generate recommendations when the user prompts it so that we don’t use too much server calls

I’ve made some revisions to the model and datasets, and the Magic 8-Ball Mark II is more or less working. It’s more responsive to popularity than the last version, but it seems to be a bit more focused about thematic elements.

Following is a 20-game walk through a chain of recommendations. What do you think? (Please update your vote at the top of this thread if these examples change your mind about how well it’s working.)

If you think it’s working worse, I’m very interested to know why, so please post your reasons and mention any specific pairings that seem wrong to you. Also, I’m happy to post recommendations for up to 10 games at a time upon request to get feedback, so don’t be shy!
