– Replaced “unreleased” and “n/a” text in the steam review columns for upcoming games with a blank gray, since the text was messing up the order when people attempt to sort by the highest numbers first.

– Moved Cell Survivors, added Gunfield, Tribes & Monsters to Early Access releases
– Moved Lizard Survivors, added Zombie City Rescue, Zombie Sanctuary:Juliet, Thriller Garden to released
– Contacted a bunch of devs and user forums/discords to get more info on related games (maybe about 150-200 games have had feedback/advice sought so far, goal is to check over every game in the list, of course, to make sure there are less chances of me making mistakes.)
– Added a ton of columns based on user feedback (just decided to add all the ones people have asked for over the last couple months at once)
– Added Metacritic score category columns (critic and user review averages, amount of reviews, average and combined mean columns), which are not currently used in calculating the ranking, but could be if people keep pushing for the idea
– Conditional formatting, styling and formulas for the metacritic columns
– Gathered Metacritic info for all the currently ranked games that have it
– Added “Mouse Only” column to supported controls/platforms group, started filling it (help!)
– Added Run Time / Round Notes column
– Added Speed Modifiers column

– Added Tutorial notes column
– Grouped those columns along with Run Time in a new “Run Time and Game Modes” section of the meta info
– Updated feature survey to get allow for information for the new columns
– Added tiny explanation text to the primary ranking columns
– Changed “Totally Free!” to “Free!” through the spreadsheet based on user feedback (it matches how steam marks these games) but some may actually be “Free to Play” which is different. So far only Paths of Exile was changed to “Free to Play”, but let me know if I need to change others
– Mailed follow up run time questions to the folks who filled the survey before I changed all the above
– Moved existing run time notes into the appropriate columns
– Updated game count. 820+ games!

– Scored Clawed Cult, Noxious Weeds by dev scorecard
– Did “the math” and added an explanation for how everything is tallied and why to the Explainer tab
– Added “percent similar” column to front of sheet
– Added math notes to total scores section headers
– Added point score columns (for alternate sorting method, by adding all the points)
– Styled all 7 new columns and pasted the formulas throughout. At some point we’ll likely decide to hide some of these.
– Set up weekly “Review” thread via auto-mod on r/survivorslikes. Review scores and notes and any opinions shared will be taken into account for our subjective scoring, so it’s not just me personally. Also adding a reminder to use the review form, so we’ll start getting some review notes authored by other players in the sheet.

– “Ranking” Column: After feedback, revised sheet to sort once again by a combination of the similarity scale and reviews
– Adjusted order to be correct by “ranking score”
– Very significant adjustments to the ranking based on review scores to help make the new order make sense and fixes to comparisons (many of the comparison score adjustments were going to happen when the scoring guide finished, but just made them now when I was looking through)
– Made “released” section for dev scorecard scored games, since they have steam reviews which highly modify their sort order compared to the games without steam reviews. Moved the appropriate games to their sections
– Lots of minor adjustments
– So now all the fully ranked games have totally different positions and a new ranking score! Hopefully it all seems to make sense! Basically games under 5.0 shouldn’t really be recommendations for people looking for the next survivors-like game, either because they are an OK game that’s not very similar or all the way to being a bad game that also doesn’t share features. Still technically possible to get a negative score, but will be pretty rare.
– Updated explainer with ranking notes, there will probably be mistakes around the place about how things are ranked, please point them out to me if you see any
– Went through the whole reviewed section going “would I recommend trying this one before this one to fans of Vampire Survivors?” and it feels I could say yes to each one, so I guess it’s right?
– Made review scale form and made review-form subdomain, added link to comparison scale form, scorecard and subreddit sidebar. will probably take 24 hours for DNS / security certificate to update on the subdomain, so queued announcement about it for tomorrow
– Various styling fixes
