Games from 2023 will not be added until next year

It has become clear that the end of year lists alone will not be sufficient to give games from 2023 sensible all time rankings. There are currently very few lists comparing games from 2023 to games released earlier, and the algorithm struggles to make sense of this. The few lists that do exist are having a disproportionate effect on the final rankings.

That said, the data comparing 2023 games to each other is already excellent. So, if there is interest in seeing a definitive "Best games of 2023" list, I will put one together (once all of the end of year lists are in).

Updates/fixes/changes:

  • A bug that caused the page numbers to disappear for the "Source Lists" and "Developers" pages, when viewed on mobile, has been fixed. The mobile layout for those pages has also been greatly improved.
  • A couple of bugs relating to the search function have been fixed. It will no longer erroneously apply filters to search queries.

Quick update on the changes that have been implemented over the last month:

  • The homepage top 10 now has cover images instead of text! I think this looks a lot better, personally.
  • A number of minor layout and functionality changes have been implemented, which should make navigating the various list and filter options more intuitive. The page and list titles have also been revised to better communicate what's being displayed.

Also, for those wondering when the 2023 games will be added, it all depends on how quickly the end of year lists come in. If last year is anything to go by, then I should have enough data to spit out some preliminary rankings before the end of the month, with the final rankings determined in early January.

New features/Fixes:

  • You can now apply multiple filters! First, pick a base list (All time/Decade/Year), and then apply any Genre/Platform filters can be applied over the top of it.
  • Some release years were still wrong after the last update. I believe they are all fixed now.
