News Summary

Ludocene is a new app designed to help gamers find lesser-known titles that match their interests, akin to a dating app for games. Created by journalist Andy Robertson, who previously developed the Family Gaming Database, Ludocene aims to connect players with games beyond the popular or algorithmically suggested titles. The app uses a deck-building format to present games as virtual cards, offering recommendations based on user preferences. The inclusion of paid experts such as journalists and streamers helps curate personalized recommendations for users. Funded by a Kickstarter campaign, Ludocene will launch as a free, ad-free browser app with a mobile version to follow.
