In my universe, it would be Tetris > Emlith

Also there’s Tetris 2 - The New Blood, but that’s a homebrew game that for whatever reason only runs in the QuickBasic interpreter, it refuses to compile for some reason.

Oh man, my actual favorite game of all time is Descent 1 and 2…

The proper spiritual successor to that (looking past Descent 3, for reasons), is Overload…

The catch with Overload (which was actually developed by the two lead developers of Descent), is that it really will overload your system and push it to the max.
Overload is like 20 years newer than Descent, and I can only get like 3 frames per second on my potato laptop. ☹️
So, with that thought in mind, even though both Descent and Overload are both exactly the same genre of game, they are two decades apart in system requirements…
Take that information however you will, but yeah I’d probably have some sort of toggle option to limit suggestions to similar games to other games released +/- 5 years or so…
