If there are two things I love, it’s video games and lists. When these two elements come together as a fun way to kill time, my joy level soars above the clouds.
Imagine how ecstatic I was when one of my closest gaming friends linked me to the About Me: Video Games list featured on grids.fun. Simply put, this is a grid layout where you can enter your preferred choices in each box based on the description provided below each box. I had a lot of fun digging through my mental archives and remembering all the outstanding video games that shaped my childhood and had a huge impact on me as an adult.
My eyes are always on the lookout for fresh gaming experiences or games that have somehow passed me by. So I asked ChatGPT to show me the full range of my gaming preference profile through its About Me: Video Games lineup and recommend the types of games that appeal to me based on those choices.
Thanks to ChatGPT’s analysis of my gaming preferences, I was finally able to find a few games worth adding to my playlist (aka my huge backlog).

Pushes me into a collection of amazing gaming experiences I’ve never played before
After considering my gaming preferences, ChatGPT immediately recognized my love for stylish action combat, strong storytelling, memorable worlds, Japanese game design, and character-driven experiences. It also correctly identified that I’m a fighting game fan who thrives on cult classics, overlooked masterpieces, and games that aren’t afraid to get a little weird.
With that profile in mind, ChatGPT generated a long list of recommendations that seemed surprisingly tailored to my tastes. It quickly added a few spots to my ever-growing “to play someday” list for future PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming sessions.
These are the six recommendations that stand out the most.
- metaphor: rifantagio: Easiest recommendation on this list. It combines stylish art direction, incredible world-building, memorable characters, and a constantly evolving combat system. Critics have widely praised it as one of the best RPGs of 2024.
- Baldur’s Gate 3: Although it’s not the usual grid-based genre, the storytelling, character interactions, and player freedom are so good that it transcends genre preferences. It became one of the defining RPGs of the decade.
- Mouthwash: It’s a small game, but one of the best examples of modern narrative horror.
- Still Wakes the Deep: Great atmosphere and storytelling with a strong BioShock-esque environmental narrative.
- UFO50: A collection of 50 retro games that will make you feel like you’ve found a lost console. It has become popular among enthusiasts looking for something different.
- Onimusha: The Way of the Sword: If you had to bet that one game released in 2026 would be your favorite, it would be this one. why? That’s because it features Capcom’s action-combat pedigree, stylish swordplay, a dark paranormal setting, and a strong single-player focus. Anyone whose grid includes Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4, and Vanquish should have this at the top of their wishlist. One of the most anticipated action games of the year.
final thoughts
Huge kudos to ChatGPT for digging deep into my About Me: Video Game profile and providing me with tons of quality games to play, both old and new.
I spent dozens of hours with the first two RPGs, fully immersed myself in the next two selections, got introduced to the quirky stuff with the fifth selection, and am ready to enjoy the revival of the classic Capcom series with the sixth selection. Side note: I recently played the demo Onimusha: The Way of the Sword And I came here to make sure that was a first day pick up for me.
ChatGPT has worked very well as my digital video game sensemaker.
