Challenges

I had to find the right dataset for this project. I wanted to create a simple React app, but offering something useful. Then I had to figure out how to integrate the obtained dataset into the project. So after try some different solutions without success, I found the Papaparse library.

Finally I decided to reverse engineer the Metacritic website to get the links to each game.
