A curated discovery surface for great games that nobody talks about. High rating signal, low collection count, filterable by era and genre. The thing competitors do worst.

Paste an export or connect an account; we match your library against our catalogue and you arrive with 400 games already populated. The single biggest answer to "why would I switch?"

Badges on every game showing which subscription it's on right now: Game Pass, PS Plus Extra, Netflix Games, Prime. Answers the most-asked question in modern gaming.

Drag your backlog into the order you actually want to play it. Distinct from a regular list: tied directly to your collection's play status. A single answer to "what's next?"

Wishlist a game, set a target price, get pinged when it drops. Catches deals across Steam and beyond without constant manual checking.

Type "action RPGs from PS1 with a rating above 4" or "what did Square release in 1997?" and get the right answer. Plain English parsed into structured filters under the hood.

Sign up and sign in with Google, Discord, or Steam. Same VGDB account, fewer passwords.

One click picks a random game from your filtered set. "I want to play a 16-bit RPG I already own tonight." Decision paralysis solved.

A private notes field on every game in your collection. "Got stuck at chapter 3", "save file on the backup drive", "the final boss takes 40 minutes." Visible only to you.

Eight or so questions about what you love and how you play, then a recommended platform with three alternatives and five essential games to start with. Useful for new buyers, fun for veterans.

A Friday email rounding up the week: "On this day" highlights, new reviews, featured lists, upcoming releases, the current poll. Owned channel, no algorithm in the way.

Weekly or monthly polls on the homepage. "Best 16-bit RPG?" "Most underrated PS2 exclusive?" "Should Sega make another console?" One vote per person, results visible after voting.

Follow other players. A feed shows what they're rating, reviewing, and adding to their collections. Turns the catalogue into a place you come back to see what's new.

Subscribe to any entity. Get a notification (in-app and optional email) when a new game lands in our catalogue. Re-engagement without you having to remember to check.

Tag any game in your collection with whatever makes sense to you: "finished on NG+", "rainy day games", "play with kids", "co-op with my brother." Filter by any combination.

When you're signed in, the homepage suggests 6 to 12 games from your owned-but-unplayed pool, ranked by what we think you'll like based on your ratings. Cures "I own 400 games and don't know what to play."

A scrollable December recap: most-played platform, top-rated game, longest backlog streak, the works. Era-themed for whichever decade dominated your year. Built to be shared.

Annual community voting across categories: Game of the Year, Best RPG, Best Remake, Best of Each Era. Runs through December and January. Winner badges that stick to the game pages forever.

The homepage shifts with the calendar. Retro October, Remake March, Handheld Summer, December GOTY voting. A reason to check in periodically.

Curated goals like "Own every PS2 exclusive" or "Review games from 5 different decades." Progress tracks itself against your collection and reviews; unlocking earns a badge for your profile.

Estimated monetary value of your physical collection, tracked over time. Rising stars highlighted. CIB versus loose versus sealed all priced separately for the people who care about that.

Short multiple-choice quizzes built from the catalogue itself. "Which platform launched Ico?" "What year did the Dreamcast launch in Japan?" Timed rounds, leaderboards by era.

An ongoing log per game, separate from a one-shot review. Multiple timestamped entries, public or private, for narrating a playthrough over weeks or months.

Curated YouTube embeds on game detail pages. The original trailer, a great retrospective, sometimes a notable speedrun. Quality over volume, all admin-curated.

Nested comment threads on every review. Closes the loop between reviewers and readers; reportable when things go off the rails.

PAL versus NTSC versus JP releases tracked properly. Different titles (Biohazard versus Resident Evil), different release dates, different box art. Underserved content for collectors.

Read-only access to platforms, games, and companies for fan projects, wikis, and anyone who wants to build on top of VGDB. Rate-limited, documented, versioned.

Every release in the database plotted on a horizontal timeline, zoomable from all-of-history down to a single year. Colour intensity shows release density.

Side-by-side view of two collections. Games you both own, games only you own, games only they own. Same for platforms. Shareable URL.

A "suggest an edit" and "submit a missing game" workflow with a moderation queue and contributor reputation. Lets the community help grow the catalogue without lowering the quality bar.
