How matches are ranked
Each tracked iOS game is scored against Stardew Valley using four signals:
- Archetype overlap — does the game live in the same broad genre family (sim, rpg, casual-arcade)?
- Keyword overlap — does the App Store description name the core mechanics?
- Tag overlap — are the same lifestyle tags present (family-safe, offline)?
- Quality floor — App Store rating must be ≥ 3.5; editorial-flagged picks get a boost.
The scoring runs against the live US App Store cohort every morning. Games that drop in quality or get pulled fall off this page automatically.
