Bug Fixes and Updates for 9 Nov 2026
We're back with another big round of updates and fixes to the Best Movie & Game Recommendation Site on the Internet!! Fine, that's a title we've given ourselves... but we read somewhere that self-confidence is a really fine trait. So it's what we're going with.
Enhancement
New Views & Layout for the Title Database
We have just introduced a big new change to one of the most popular pages on Criticker: the Title Database, where you can browse, filter, and sort all the titles at Criticker however you like.
Unseen 1980s Horror ordered by your PSI
Actually, this isn’t a new change at all… it might be new to the Title Database, but it's something we’ve been rolling out to various other pages over the past couple months: your ratings list, filmmaker pages, and collections. Before moving on to this biggest and most visited page, we wanted to get all the bugs ironed out.
But considering the size and complexity of this page, we know there is every chance that new issues will surface. Please let us know about any you find, by submitting a bug, and we’ll try to get them fixed up as soon as we can!
Bug Fixes
Filmmaker Page Rating/PSI sort bug - We changed the database view of the filmmaker page to show both ratings and PSIs in a single sort … but we didn’t properly account for pagination, and what that does to the sorting. You can read the bug report for the messy details, but suffice to say it’s been fixed!
Show filmmaker role when none selected - For a filmmaker who has multiple types of credits (think, Werner Herzog, who is a writer, director and actor), it was impossible to see what credit type they have when you haven’t filtered down to just that credit. But now, we indicate which type of role the filmmaker played, for each title, when looking at the “List” view.
Filmmaker avg rating on DB view - On the filmmaker information page, most views will allow you to easily see how many titles you’ve rated and what your average rating was – except for the database view. We’ve added that information now, so you should be able to see it regardless of your preferred view!
List view broken on Rate More Films - A mistake recently introduced in our javascript was preventing people from switching between the poster and list view on the Rate More Titles page. That’s now been corrected!
Journal not in reverse chronological order - A recent change to the journal put the entries in ascending chronological order… whereas, this section is meant to have the most recent entries first. We’ve corrected the ordering now.
Collections Sort not remembered - Criticker is supposed to remember your preferred sort for the titles within a collection, but that wasn’t always happening (particularly, if your preferred sort was “date added” or “year”). We’ve fixed that up now!
Most Contentious Video Games of All Time - We’ve just made a new addition to our curated lists, this time looking at the most polarizing video games ever. These are the games people either loved or hated, but which few felt ambivalent about. Check it out here!
