Multi-Game Recommender — Blend Your Favorite Games

What is the Multi-Game Recommender?

The Multi-Game Recommender lets you combine multiple favorite games to get blended recommendations. Instead of finding games similar to just one title, you can select 2 to 20 games that represent your taste. Nodal analyzes all your seeds together and finds games that match the combined pattern. This is perfect when you love several different genres and want recommendations that capture multiple influences at once.

How Multi-Game Blending Works

When you add multiple seed games, Nodal generates recommendations for each one using both tag similarity and collaborative filtering models. Games that appear as strong matches for multiple seeds get boosted in the final ranking. A game that is similar to three of your five seeds will rank higher than a game only similar to one.

The blending algorithm also considers the overlap between your seeds. If all your seeds are roguelikes, the recommendations will lean heavily roguelike. If you mix genres like adding a farming sim alongside an action RPG, you will get recommendations that bridge both worlds or excel in one.

When to Use Multi-Game Recommendations

Explore genre blends: Add a metroidvania and a soulslike to find games combining both styles. Mix a city builder with a survival game to discover survival city builders.

Refine your taste profile: If single-game recommendations are too narrow, adding more seeds helps Nodal understand what you actually want. Add games you love to improve results.

Discover hidden connections: Sometimes games you would not expect share player overlap. Multi-game mode reveals these patterns by finding what your favorites have in common.
