Steam Similarity Recommender Find your next favorite game and learn WHY (student project)[P]

Short summary

A student built a Steam game recommender that explains why a game is recommended by breaking titles into fine-grained feature vectors (gameplay focus, vibe, music style) rather than broad tags. The system analyzed 2K reviews from 80K games through a ChatGPT-powered NLP pipeline to extract and group meaningful features into micro-tags. It's live at nextsteamgame.com with an open GitHub repo and advanced mode for custom feature weighting.
