Hey, Steam now lets you blacklist user-defined tags in your discovery queue.

Neat!

*immediately blacklists “zombies”*

(Now if only there were a well-defined tag for “obvious Terraria clone” that I could blacklist, that’d be two birds with one stone…)

also:

  • “obvious Minecraft clone”
  • “has the graphics and complexity of a 2006 Newgrounds Flash game for $15″
  • “contains two or more tags from: Survival, Crafting, Sandbox, Procedurally-Generated”
  • “fourth installment in a story-heavy series you have never touched in your life”
  • “has the word Simulator or Tycoon in the title and was made after 2005″
  • “has the word Sakura in the title…… ever”
  • “has one or more gameplay mechanics related to breasts”
  • “Pixel art graphics by somebody who does not know how to do pixel art properly”
  • “decent game but you will find out a month later that the creator is a constant asshole on Twitter and feel bad for supporting them”

Ooh, or how about:

  • “dungeon-crawler whose promo blurb uses the words ‘procedural’ and ‘revolutionary’ in the same sentence″
  • “box art is just a close-up of the protagonist’s breasts“

  • “conceals bloated price point by exploiting the fact that Steam sorts episodic titles by the price of the first episode rather than the price of the whole game”
  • “PS Vita port crudely upscaled to 1080p using a nearest-neighbor filter”
  • “has female protagonist; plot, exposition and development focus entirely on male supporting characters“
  • “has been in Early Access for three and a half years and still doesn’t have its menu UI figured out“
  • “wants to be the next Goat Simulator“
  • “contains nominally adult woman character who looks like a nine-year-old because of Reasons“
  • “GRITTY REALISM (i.e. we would like to justify being sexist as hell)”
  • “It’s okay because we’re spouting memes ironically”
  • “Advertises a varied, interesting female cast; insists on a generic, faceless male lead”
  • “We localised our game by running it through Google Translate”
  • “Episode 1 out now! Episode 2 to be released some time in the next decade”
  • “First review sings the game’s praises in spite of only having 5 minutes of playtime”
  • “next-gen breast physics”

  • “weird-ass Objectivist ranting”
  • “first hour of play consists of unskippable tutorial”
  • “contains cute female protagonist and and long, detailed death animations – like, concerningly detailed“
  • “in-game DLC store sells crafting materials for real money"
  • “cliffhanger ending; developer defunct“
  • “interface screw during final boss fight“
