Adding community reviews to the homepage is just one of the ways that Steam Labs is trying to help gamers decide what to play next. One of the other successful Steam Labs experiments has been the Interactive Recommender. This tool helps Steam users see what games they might want to purchase next, based on what they've already been playing on Steam. Users can even make adjustments so that it doesn't factor in games that the user has played but didn't enjoy.
The Interactive Recommender technology is also used in another successful Steam Labs experiment: Play Next. While the Interactive Recommender is there to help gamers find the next title they might want to purchase, Play Next helps those with larger Steam libraries decide what to jump into next. This information is gleaned by comparing the user's play history with that of other Steam users.
This month marks one year of #SteamLabs experimentation! To celebrate, we've released 006: Community Recommendations to all Steam users. 🥳

On our blog, we're taking a look back at what we've learned, shipped and shelved during the first year of Labs. 🔬https://t.co/2zd8BfOGmz pic.twitter.com/50dWkpFNkb
Steam continues to look for new ways to make the user experience as friendly as possible. In the history of video games as a medium, gamers have never had so many options available at a single time. Unfortunately, that can make finding something to play more of a chore than it has to be. While these changes might seem minor, they should make for a much more enjoyable experience.
