Help us keep rating games for families.
Working out whether a game is right for your kid should not take an afternoon of research. That is the job GameCompass does, free, for anyone who needs it, and support is what lets us keep adding to it.

Where your coffee goes
A rating here is not one person typing an opinion. Every game runs through a research pipeline, and every step of it has a meter running.
Scoring each game
Every title gets classified, researched against live sources, scored across seven dimensions, then quality-checked. Anything that fails the check is re-scored on a larger model.
The popularity charts
Most Played is scraped from Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and the mobile stores, then merged into one ranking. Every refresh spends scraping credits.
Real gameplay footage
We fetch and verify actual gameplay clips so you can watch a game before you decide, which runs against a daily API quota.
Database and hosting
About a thousand reviews with their images and Spanish translations, served fast to anyone who lands here, logged in or not.
A concrete example: the popularity charts refresh twice a month instead of weekly. That is a budget decision, not a technical one. It is exactly the kind of thing more coffee fixes.
What we promise in return
We spend our days looking at how games ask families for money. It taught us a fair amount about how not to ask for yours.
Every rating stays free
Nothing moves behind a supporter wall later on. What you can read today you can read tomorrow, whether you give or not.
No countdowns
There is no campaign ending tonight. This page will say the same thing next month, so give whenever it actually suits you.
One coffee is the whole ask
No monthly plan pre-selected on your behalf, and no follow-up asking you for more.
You know what you are funding
The costs above are the real ones. Support goes to the next batch of games rated, and nothing else.
No budget? These help just as much
Money is the fastest way to keep this running. It is not the only way.
Send it to one parent
The most useful thing you can do. One parent who finds a rating useful is worth more to us than one coffee.
Tell us when we get it wrong
Found a rating that does not match the game you know? Say so. Corrections make the whole catalog more useful.

Thanks for reading this far
That alone tells us this matters to you. If you can spare a coffee, it goes straight into the next game we rate.
