Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description?

    Seriously. Don’t understand why people like those games. Boring lore and repetitive gameplay.

      I’m doing a temperature check: name a game with good lore.

    I don’t like souls like games. I saw black myth wukong was specifically said to not be a souls like game, but guess what? It’s enough of the same combat elements that I still don’t like it. So now I avoid games that are souls like, but also games that people claim they’re not souls like.

    I’m pretty sure even if the Steam store doesn’t do it, there are tools to search Steam that can exclude tags, right?

  If you go to store preferences you can exclude certain tags.

  Just search for Slime Rancher.

    Isn’t the setting dystopian?

      For whom? The slimes you ranch?

  You mean, most games?

  You can exclude tags by going to your Store Settings page and scrolling down to “Tags to Exclude.” You can only exclude up to 10, and this only works for games that are actually tagged with the word. It doesn’t exclude keywords in the description. I don’t know how many games are actually tagged with “dystopian.”

  This works best for genre types.

  You could try the “Steam library filters” site someone created here: www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/

  This lets you include or exclude tags, plus a bunch of other filter and sorting options.

  Just don’t buy games with zombies or realistic gray visuals? Why is this difficult

  • xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    That wouldn’t exclude Cyberpunk for example.

    source

    • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Based on what the OP said, Cyberpunk 2077 would still pass the filter because it does not use a single instance of the words “dystopia” or “dystopian” anywhere on the store page.

  Exclude the tag, and after awhile Steam will stop recommending them to you. If you’re seeing a lot of them, it’s because you’re looking at a lot of them.

  There’s lots of different approaches, but I’ve had the same problem.

  Steam lets you exclude tags, but they limit how many tags you can exclude so it’s basically a useless feature.

  I go to steamDB and it has a ton of sorting options, including being able to exclude “Lovecraftian”, “visual novel”, “dating*”, etc

  There’s also a great browser extension for Firefox which is my preferred browser. It enhances the Steam homepage (depending on how you configure it) and lets you do lots of things like quick-sell cards and other stuff.
