Tell the finder what you need

Platform, feature, and release choices are must-have requirements. A reference game can be any tracked title; results are drawn from reviewed Soulslike and Souls-adjacent records, then ranked by gameplay-first Similarity v2 evidence.

I like this gameOptional. This adds Similarity v2 ranking evidence but never overrides must-have filters. A Not Soulslike title can be used as a reference, but is not returned as a recommendation.
