Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description?

Exclude the tag, and after awhile Steam will stop recommending them to you. If you’re seeing a lot of them, it’s because you’re looking at a lot of them.

i would like to filter out all "massive multiplyer online arena shooter" There are way too much of them

There's lots of different approaches, but I've had the same problem.

Steam lets you exclude tags, but they limit how many tags you can exclude so it's basically a useless feature.

I go to steamDB and it has a ton of sorting options, including being able to exclude "Lovecraftian", "visual novel", "dating*", etc

There's also a great browser extension for Firefox which is my preferred browser. It enhances the Steam homepage (depending on how you configure it) and lets you do lots of things like quick-sell cards and other stuff.

What’s the name of this extension?

You mean, most games?

Just don't buy anything with zombies or realistic gray/brown graphics? Why is this difficult

That wouldn't exclude Cyberpunk for example.

Just search for Slime Rancher.

Isn't the setting dystopian?

You could try the "Steam library filters" site someone created here: https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/

This lets you include or exclude tags, plus a bunch of other filter and sorting options.

If you go to store preferences you can exclude certain tags.

Do "soulslike" next!

"procedural deckbuilding survival indie roguelike"

I’m pretty sure even if the Steam store doesn’t do it, there are tools to search Steam that can exclude tags, right?

Seriously. Don't understand why people like those games. Boring lore and repetitive gameplay.

I'm doing a temperature check: name a game with good lore.

I don't like souls like games. I saw black myth wukong was specifically said to not be a souls like game, but guess what? It's enough of the same combat elements that I still don't like it. So now I avoid games that are souls like, but also games that people claim they're not souls like.
