Does a curator for PC games exist?

Spotify does this pretty well in my opinion, where I make music playlists and it curates new music for me either below existing playlists or in "Discover Weekly" that rolls round every Monday. It can get trapped sometimes where if I play Christmas music it will start curating Christmas music but it eventually gets out of that trap and it starts curating based on my playlists again.

Is there something similar for gaming? I have Steam which displays a few gaming ads at start-up but I think they're just targeted ads rather than curated.

My historic games are Warcraft 1/2 (and WoW), Age of Empires 2/3/Mythology, Final Fantasy 7/8, Sims 1-4, the Popcap back catalogue so Bejelewed 1-3, Zuma, Peggle, Chuzzle and Plants vs Zombies etc. In more recent years I got into roguelike so Balatro, Ballionaire, Blue Prince, Cloverpit, Cursed Words and Raccoin.

My eyesight is pretty shot so graphics would need to be relatively simple. I have an overclocked RTX 4070 Super so I'm good for 1440p at 60 frames.
 
Also worth mentioning that not only will steam give you a discovery queue based on what games you've liked before. But it also does have a specific curator system, people like Yahtzee a popular reviewer are curators on steam and games can get flagged with their reviews and recommendations, which means if you trust a specific reviewer or find your tastes in line with them, you can follow them on steam and their other recommended games will be searchable and appear in your recommended.
 
Steam now also builds a personal calendar of upcoming games that it thinks you’ll like. Haven’t really looked to see if it’s any good.
