WikiArena is a cute little time waster. You get two different Wikipedia articles and you have to pick which has either more views in the last n-days or which one is longer by word count. It scours through moreorless every Wikipedia page as best as I can tell so you're not likely to encounter duplicates.

There's a real GeoGuessr style charm to it that makes it fun and you can even add a fairly aggressive timer to make you move quicker. If you play long enough you'll notice some tricks that help you get better. But ultimately that's it. That's the game. It's even less engaging than GeoGuessr and there's not the same sense of accomplishment when you do manage to get things right.

It's close though. There's just something missing. I don't know what that is but there's just something missing from it. Hopefully it continues to get enough attention that the dev feels it worthwhile to add an additional feature or three and maybe it'll find a way to itch your brain right. Feels like it would be better in a browser or on a phone than as a Steam install though.
