Every game, scored for you.
Playwise predicts how much you'll enjoy a game before you buy it, and helps you pick what to play next from the games you already own. It's a prediction, not a promise, and it'll tell you when a game isn't for you.

Reviews answer a different question.
A review tells you whether a game is good. What you want to know is whether it's good for you: whether you'll still be playing at hour 10, whether it's worth the price, and whether this is the week for a 60-hour RPG.
- Will I enjoy it?
- Is it worth the money for me?
- Do I have time to play it right now?
- What should I play next from the games I already own?
Those are the questions Playwise is built to answer.
More than a tracker.
Keeping a record of what you've played is useful, and Playwise does it. The good part is what comes next: what to play, and whether it's worth buying.

How it works
Tell it your taste
Pick your platforms and genres, say what you can't stand, and react to a few games you know. It takes about 2 minutes. Then connect an account or import a file to bring your library in.
Get a score on every game
Every game gets a predicted score out of 10, built from your answers and what the game is actually like to play, not from critic averages.
Play it, rate it, see how close it got
When you finish a game, or give up on it, rate it and see Playwise's prediction beside your rating. A big miss lets you fix the answer behind it.
What you get
A score built around you
Two players can see very different scores for the same game, and so can its Switch and PS5 versions, because Playwise scores the copy you'd actually play. Every score comes with the reasons behind it, so you can tell when it's onto something and when it's missed.
Your backlog, in an order that makes sense
Your queue stays in the order you set, and the rest of your backlog is ranked by how much you're likely to enjoy each game. It's counted in hours, too, because 5 indie games and 5 RPGs are very different weekends.
A straight answer before you buy
Sales make it easy to buy games you never play. Before you buy, the game page says Buy, Wait, Pricey or Skip, from how much you'd enjoy it and what it costs today. Wait only shows up when the game really has sold for less before.
Playwise+, for when you're all in
AI-written reads on how a game would go for you, before you buy and after you finish. Alerts when a wishlisted game turns into a good buy, not just a cheaper one. A weekly email on your wishlist's best deals, your library kept in sync, and charts on how you actually play.
Built around how you actually play
From the store page to the credits, and after.
Before you buy
A score, the reasons for it, and a verdict on the price. Playwise+ adds a written read of how the game would go for you, written by AI and labeled that way.
While you play
Log your hours, or have them sync from PlayStation, Steam and Xbox with Playwise+. Your queue keeps the order you set.
After you finish
Rate it and see how close the prediction got. Pick what stood out and what let you down, and keep a private review if you like.
In the meantime
Watch your wishlist for real sales, look back at your stats, and keep every platform's games in one place.
What we believe
Your library, not the charts
The games you've played, and how you felt about them, say more about your next game than any best-of-the-year list. Playwise is built around yours.
Personal fit over universal acclaim
A 96 on Metacritic is a great sign a game is good. It can't tell you whether it's your kind of good. Playwise answers that second question.
A prediction should show its work
Every score comes with its reasons, and every rating you give shows how close the guess was. We'd rather own a miss than look certain.
Measure backlog in hours, not game count
5 indie games might be 25 hours. 5 RPGs can be 300. Playwise counts the hours, so what to play next fits the time you actually have.
We'll tell you when to skip it
Most recommendations lean toward yes. Playwise will tell you when a game, even a celebrated one, isn't for you. Loving games means being straight about which ones are yours.
How it started
I played a lot of games in my teens and twenties. Then life got busy, and I drifted to mobile — quick sessions that fit the schedule, not the games I actually wanted to play. When I finally had time again, I had a backlog a mile long and no good way to know where to start.
I asked friends. I asked forums. The recommendations I got were good…for them. They knew what they liked, not what I would like. The gap between their taste and mine wasn't obvious from a critic's rating or a review summary.
So I started tracking it myself — what I'd enjoyed, what I'd bounced off, and why. Over time that became a system I could run any game through: not a critic's take, a prediction of my own reaction. It worked well enough that I stopped second-guessing purchases. I wanted everyone to have it. That's Playwise.
Sound familiar?
For most people, a backlog is a graveyard of good intentions.
- Buy games during sales and rarely get around to playing them
- Feel vaguely guilty about your backlog
- Spend more time deciding what to play than actually playing
- Have paid full price for a game that turned out not to be for you
