So what is it?

Awesome AI Game is a curated list of video games where artificial intelligence is part of how you actually play, rather than just a marketing term or a tool used to build the game. The list draws a clear line between games where AI is live during play, such as a character whose dialogue is generated in real time by a language model, and games that were simply made using AI development tools, which it excludes. The list is organized into a few categories. Conversational and AI NPC games feature characters that genuinely listen and respond, such as a game where you must talk an alien companion through survival, or one where you charm AI controlled villagers into letting you in. AI storytelling and roleplay games use a language model as a dungeon master or narrator, generating stories and worlds that shift based on player choices, including well known titles like AI Dungeon. A sandbox, simulation, and party games category covers things like a fully AI rendered open world with no traditional game engine, an unbounded crafting game where combining items reveals new ones generated by AI, and party games judged by an AI. A final section lists mainstream, more established games that have added AI driven non-player characters. Each entry includes a short verdict describing what makes the game notable, along with a rough popularity rating shown as fire icons, ranging from worth playing to a viral phenomenon. The list is updated regularly and includes a badge showing that its links are checked weekly to keep them from going stale. This repository is not a piece of software to install or run. It is a reference document, formatted in the popular awesome list style, meant for people who want to discover and keep up with games built around live AI gameplay. It welcomes community contributions of new games through pull requests.
