Sifter for Steam

Overlays Sifter's Design Risk and Joy scores on Steam store and browse pages, so you know what you're playing before you buy.

Know what you're getting into before you buy. Sifter overlays two scores directly onto Steam: • Design Risk (0–100) — how predatory a game's monetisation and engagement design is. Lower is better. It weighs loot boxes, gacha, pay-to-win, battle passes, energy systems and FOMO events by how much harm they actually do — a cosmetic-only store is treated very differently from pay-for-power. • Joy Index (0–100) — genuine enjoyment: real player-review sentiment, minus a design-risk penalty. Higher is better. On a game's store page you get a full card with the verdict and the top contributing factors. On search, category, wishlist and "more like this" pages, every game gets a compact R · J badge — so the scores follow you as you browse. It uses the exact same scoring engine as the Sifter web app, so a game's score is identical everywhere. Scores are computed from Steam's own public store data and, for high-traffic games, hand-verified. Private by design: no account, no sign-in, and nothing about you is collected or sent anywhere. The only data stored is a local cache of game scores, in your browser. Learn more and score your whole Steam library at https://siftergames.com
