Playd, c’est Letterboxd pour les jeux. Tu notes les jeux auxquels tu joues, tu suis tes amis, et tu vois vraiment ce qu’ils en pensent. Pas de classement pourri, pas de boutique : juste tes jeux. Note sur 10, par pas de 0,5. Ajoute un jeu à ta liste, écris un avis court, like et commente ceux des autres. Les jaquettes et les fiches viennent d’IGDB. Découvre le catalogue par plateforme (Switch, DS, PlayStation, PC, mobile…) et enchaîne les classiques que tu n’as pas encore notés, un par un. Tu glisses si tu ne connais pas, tu notes si tu y as déjà joué. Retrouve tes amis par pseudo, accepte leurs demandes, vois leurs notes. Profil public ou privé : à toi de voir qui a accès à tes jeux. Playd, c’est simple. Note les jeux auxquels tu joues. C’est tout.
