A Journey Through Gaming Favorites and AI-Generated Recommendations
Video games have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve always enjoyed creating lists to organize my thoughts. When I came across the “About Me: Video Games” list on grids.fun, it was like finding a hidden treasure. This grid layout allows users to fill in each box with their preferred choices based on the descriptions provided. It was an excellent way to reflect on the games that shaped my childhood and influenced me as I grew up.
I’m always on the lookout for new gaming experiences, especially those that I might have missed. To explore this further, I shared my “About Me: Video Games” list with ChatGPT and asked it to recommend games that would align with my preferences. The results were impressive, and I found several games that I added to my ever-growing backlog.

Discovering New Gaming Experiences
After reviewing my gaming preferences, ChatGPT identified my love for stylish action combat, strong storytelling, memorable worlds, Japanese game design, and character-driven experiences. It also recognized my fondness for fighting games, cult classics, overlooked gems, and games that embrace a bit of weirdness.
Based on this profile, ChatGPT generated a list of recommendations that felt tailored to my tastes. Here are the six standout picks:

ChatGPT did an excellent job of becoming my digital video game tastemaker. I’m excited to spend time on the first two RPG picks, immerse myself in the follow-up selections, explore something quirky with the fifth pick, and enjoy the return of a classic Capcom franchise with the sixth pick. I recently played the demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword and can confirm it’s now a Day One pickup for me.
