What is /v/'s Recommended Games?

/v/'s Recommended Games is a community-maintained wiki that collects video game recommendations sourced from the /v/ board on 4chan. It is aimed at people who want to find games worth playing — including older titles you can still access through emulators or secondhand marketplaces like eBay — and who are comfortable with /v/'s blunt, opinionated tone. The wiki is explicitly marked as "UNDER (RE)CONSTRUCTION," so treat it as a work in progress rather than a finished reference.

What the site actually is

The wiki describes itself as a volunteer effort: "This wiki, like all wikis, lives and breathes on the efforts of volunteers." Its recommendations are supposed to come from /v/, and the site warns readers upfront to expect:

• Tastes that may not match your own
• "A healthy serving of hateful language"
• "Punishing standards of quality"

That framing matters. This is not a neutral review aggregator. The editorial voice is the community's, and the site says so directly: "We hate so hard because we love video games so much."

What content it covers

The main page organizes content into several areas:

The platform list spans a very wide range — from the Apple I and Apple II series, through microcomputers like the Amstrad CPC and Acorn Electron, to current hardware such as the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. It also includes OS entries (Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, BSD family, RISC OS) and mobile platforms (Android, iOS, KaiOS, HarmonyOS, Sailfish OS). Discontinued and unreleased platforms appear too, such as Google Stadia (2023), BlackBerry OS (2022), and the never-released Intellivision Amico.

The homepage also links to "Reviews by /v/," "Multiplayer games," and "Recent changes," which are useful entry points if you want to browse rather than read the full platform table.

Who it's for

This wiki suits you if:

• You want game suggestions filtered through /v/'s taste rather than mainstream review outlets
• You're interested in retro or older games and want to know what's considered worth playing
• You want a platform-by-platform index that includes obscure and discontinued hardware
• You're willing to read past harsh language and strong opinions to find the recommendations

It's less suited to you if you want neutral, consistently updated reviews, or if you need content that is complete and verified — the reconstruction notice and volunteer model mean gaps and stale entries are likely.

Practical caveats

• Completeness: The site states it is under reconstruction. Sections may be unfinished.
• Tone: The self-described "hateful language" is part of the house style, not an accident.
• Sourcing: Recommendations "come from /v/ (or at least should be)" — the wiki itself hedges on whether every entry meets that bar.
• Contributing: If you want to add to a list or flag a new release or overlooked game, the site invites contributions, consistent with its volunteer model.

If you want to use it, start from the platform list or the reviews index, and cross-check anything you plan to act on against another source, given the wiki's own warning that it is incomplete.
