GameRefinery offers two ways to see the latest trends in the pre-chewed format:
Genre Essentials – See everything new which have been added per genre
Market Trends – See feature-level changes in a specific genre
Genre Essentials
Genre Essentials allows you to quickly filter in all the latest content, analysis, updates etc. per genre. By using this tool you can see the latest content added to the GameRefinery.

Market Trends
Where Genre Essentials filters in all the latest content, Market Trends focuses on individual features' historical implementation rate over time.
The filters in the feature can be broken down into three key components:
1. Genre taxonomy – Which category, genre or sub-genre you’d like to focus on
2. Features – Which feature groups and sets you are interested in
3. Additional filters timespan & sorting – What timeframe and visualization you want to have for your data.
