Fei Editor of videogamers.fyi
I've been playing video games since I was a kid and never really stopped — picking up whatever caught my attention over the years. The recurring problem is always the same: too many games, too little time. Deciding whether a particular game is worth my weekend has become harder than actually playing it, and the constant worry that I'm missing a hidden gem only makes it worse.
This site is my attempt to solve that — for myself first, and for anyone with the same problem. AI turns out to be genuinely good at some of the slow, tedious parts: reading through forum threads, cross-referencing critic scores, summarizing what the community is actually saying this week. What it isn't good at is editorial judgment — knowing which games to cover, why they matter right now, and taste (if you trust mine). The combination is the site: AI handles the research, I make the calls.
Curation philosophy
- A game makes the list when people are genuinely trying to decide on it right now — something recent happened, and nobody else has written a good, current answer yet.
- It doesn't make the list if what someone really needs is a walkthrough, a launch-week review, or esports coverage — other sites do those well, and I'd rather point you to them than pretend otherwise.
- The list rotates once a month, not every day — real decisions don't change that fast. What does change is the data inside each pick (current players, recent patches, community mood), which refreshes every 6 hours so the page stays current even when the list doesn't.
- Each month an algorithm proposes a refreshed list based on what's moving. I look it over, tweak it, or swap games out before anything goes live — the final call is always mine.
What makes this different
- Cited, not invented. Every claim links back to its source. If a Reddit thread is mentioned, the link goes to the thread. If a critic score is mentioned, the link goes to OpenCritic.
- Live data, not snapshots. The stats sidebar on each game page reads from the actual sources at refresh time — current Steam player count, ProtonDB compatibility tier, and a player count trend line. Pages update without anyone touching them.
- Aggregated, not invented. Each page is built from cited public sources and cross-checked against quality rules before it publishes. If a fact isn't in the source data, it isn't on the page.
- No engagement bait. No autoplay video, no infinite scroll, no popup newsletters, no ten-page slideshows. The whole site is static HTML.
How it's built
Full pipeline details live on the methodology page, and every data source the site reads from is catalogued in sources.
Who runs it
I run the whole thing on weekends, on a Cloudflare free tier. No ads, no affiliate links, no sponsored picks. If something is broken or wrong, it's a bug, not a business model.
