The best games of each genre

When you do not have a game in mind, only a mood. Each ranking is the top 20 of its genre by players and critics together, with a line on why each one is there. Nobody paid to be on these lists.

Just released, and already worth a look

New games with enough of a track record to compare. If you have just finished one of these and want more of the same, its list is one tap away.

Discover games by genre

In the mood for a shooter but not sure which one? Fancy an RPG you can sink a hundred hours into? Jump into the genre and browse the lot: the classics you have replayed a dozen times, the indies you missed, and the odd gems nobody talks about. Somewhere in there is your next game.

Why you can trust these lists

Every score on this site comes from somewhere you can check: Steam reviews, OpenCritic, Metacritic, IGDB and the votes of people who use NextGameLike. The similarity between two games is measured on how they play — combat, pace, world, mood — over 70 traits, not on marketing tags. No ads, no affiliate links, nothing sponsored. If you want the full recipe, it is written down.
