Apparently the metascore parameter uses the actual scores from metacritic (tested it with https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?metascore_min=90). On steam NBA 2k17 has 51% rating, but it still shows up in that search because it's rated 90 on metacritic

I remember it being kinda important some years ago but now most people have forgotten about it, and is easy to see why. The problem is that many reviewers play one version of the game and just extrapolate the score to all platforms so it's useless for us the PC crowd and our concerns about shitty ports... and also that many times the scores or even the whole review is BS.

Maybe it was review bombed? It's a sad trend nowadays :/

Looking at the reviews it doesn't seem to be a case of bombimg but rather a big split in the playerbase, many reviews point that the gameplay is good (even great according to some) but other ones point out that the game progresion was screwed by the implementation of microtransactions. It looks like both camps are right this time and the game is both very good and terribly bad at the same time.

Still waiting for the day when I can combine filters in other ways.
Such as being able to view DLC Giveaways for things I already own, plus wishlisted stuff.
Wishlisted + DLC, instead of DLC that's wishlisted which is how it functions now.
I'm probably not explaining it very well, but I hope somebody understands what I am attempting to say.

I used to use "region_restricted" to filter GA for my region only...but now this parameter is not working as what it was...
It will filter out all regional restricted GAs contain my region as one of the regions....
Can we set the parameter to filter out GAs only for a specific region(s)?
Thanks.

Narrowing games down by score etc is great, however I would love to see filters in terms of tags... Specifically VR since I just recently purchased one and its a little frustrating looking for them :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Most VR games are found simply because they have VR in the title.
Or you can simply search for VR games on the Steam Store, find one you like, then search for it here if it doesn't have VR in the title.

Most of the games I want don't have VR in the title. I already look out for wishlisted games so I do that method. It's just when I'm browsing SG it seems like a nice way of discovering without having to keep wishlist and syncing

Thank you for the search parameters and the improvements, they've come in handy a number of times. I'm curious if these are intended to be available for searching in the archive section (I realize all the examples are for the givaways section). I tried to use the app
parameter there (the archives section) to only get results for a specific game as searching by name in the query box returns multiple games with the exact same name for my use case. Any chance the search parameters could be made available for searching in the archive section? Thanks again!
