How to use the graph
Similar games map
Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Motivations” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.
- Purple star: the game you are viewing on this page.
- Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
- Colour: groups of games with comparable motivation patterns (statistical clusters).
- Hover a dot for a quick preview; click to compare it in the panel on the right.
- Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.
Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers.
