1. Personalized Recommendations with the TCI System
Criticker's unique Taste Compatibility Index (TCI) analyzes your ratings and compares them to thousands of other users. This means you get recommendations from people whose tastes truly align with yours -- not just what's popular at the moment.
2. Comprehensive Database
With an extensive catalog of films and games, Criticker lets you rate, review, and discover titles from blockbusters to obscure gems. Whether you're into classics, indies, or the latest releases, you'll find them on our exhaustive title database, which includes robust filtering and sorting options.

3. No Algorithmic Black Box
Unlike other platforms, Criticker's recommendation engine is completely transparent. You can see exactly how your TCI is calculated and exactly why we think you'll give a particular title a particular score, giving you more insight into your discovery process.
4. Community-Driven Experience
Join a passionate community of film and game lovers. Share and star your favorite reviews, create and contribute to collections, and find the people with whom you most identify. Criticker isn't just about ratings -- it's about connecting with others who share your interests.
5. Track Your Watching and Playing Habits
Keep a movie journal of everything you've watched. Criticker makes it easy to organize your ratings, apply custom quips and labels, and keep track of movies you want to watch. You can optionally write concise mini-reviews of 500 or less characters, or share all your thoughts with full-length reviews that get their own page.
6. Create and Explore Custom Lists
Build your own collections (like “Best 90s Thrillers” or “Games with Amazing Soundtracks”) and browse lists made by other users for inspiration.

7. Discover Hidden Gems
Because recommendations are based on real users with similar tastes, you're more likely to find lesser-known titles that you'll love, not just the mainstream hits. You can also browse lists of similar titles, to help you discover movies that have a lot in common with those you already love!
8. A Rich History
Criticker has been around since 2005, building a loyal user base and continuously improving its features. With nearly two decades of experience, and over 21 million individual ratings, we know what film and game lovers want. We've been around for a long time, and don't plan on going anywhere.
9. Flexible and Detailed Rating System
Rate titles on a 100-point scale for nuanced feedback, or if that's too much, use whatever rating scale you choose! From 0-100, 0-10, or even 1-5, Criticker will understand and adapt to the way you like to rate movies.
10. It's Free!
Signing up and using Criticker is completely free. While you can choose to sponsor the site for additional features and an ads-free experience, using Criticker to get great recommendations is totally free.
