Steam Profile Game Recommender — Personalized Recommendations

What is the Steam Profile Recommender?

The Steam Profile Recommender analyzes your Steam library to find games perfectly matched to your taste. Unlike generic recommendations, this tool uses your actual playtime data to understand what you enjoy most. Games you have spent hundreds of hours in carry more weight than games sitting unplayed in your backlog. The result is a personalized list of recommendations based on your unique gaming history.

How Profile-Based Recommendations Work

Nodal combines multiple recommendation models to analyze your Steam library. Our collaborative filtering model finds patterns in what games are commonly played together across millions of players. If players with similar libraries to yours love a game you have not tried, it appears higher in your recommendations. Our content model analyzes tags and gameplay characteristics to find games matching the themes and mechanics you gravitate toward.

Playtime weighting ensures the recommendations reflect your true preferences. A game with 500 hours influences your profile more than a game with 2 hours. This helps Nodal distinguish between games you genuinely enjoy and games you tried once and abandoned.

Getting Started

Step 1: Make sure your Steam profile is set to public. Go to your Steam privacy settings and set both your profile and game details to public visibility.

Step 2: Enter your Steam profile URL or Steam ID in the search box above. You can paste your full profile link or just your custom URL name.

Step 3: View your personalized recommendations ranked by match strength. Filter by tags, release year, or price to narrow down your options.

What Steam profile formats does Nodal accept?

Why does my Steam profile need to be public?
