They’re in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.
“Uncategorized (250)” sums it up pretty well
Scrolling through all my preciouses that I’m never going to play again
Scrolling through the massive list of Humble Bundle games I didn’t and still don’t care about.

I like the implication that there’s a third state of neither hentai nor non-hentai games.
Wait what’s the difference between “Craig” and “Would play with Craig again”?
Not pictured: Won’t make the mistake of playing with Craig again
I just use dynamic collections, eg. group games by their store-tags, eg. arpg, fps, puzzle, walking-sim, online-coop… etc, whatever I consider handy when going through all of it.
Sure, the categories have a lot of overlap, but I don’t mind, the games list is a disaster anyway (>1300 games on account… yea.).
I used to maintain my own categories, but at some point the number of games started to be too much to do it by hand.
edit: One of the better features is to group games with online-coop with friends who have it too. Makes it a lot easier to find the next adventure to start after few beers.
This is how I go about it, too. I also use the favourites feature to self-curate games to reduce choice anxiety when I want to play something.
Whenever I buy a game, it gets favourited, whenever I’m done with a game, it gets unfavorited.
If I play some game a lot or feel like playing some game when I have time, I favourite it.
This way anytime I want to play, I have a short list of games to consider, instead of trying to look through my whole library.
Wow am I the only gamer who had no idea you could organise games into groups in steam? It never even occurred to me to look for this feature
i had them organised once upon a time but then i switched laptops and the categories didn’t transfer so i just, never did that again
Yeah seriously the only two categories I have are favorites (games that are installed), and everything else (games that aren’t installed).
You can even sort them conditionally, so I have a folder with games I haven’t played and it updates automatically
I bet that number usually only goes up
Perhaps
- Favorites (13)
- Hall of honor (1)
- Local Multiplayer (6)
- Trash Bin (11)
- Uncategorized (92)
(Hall of honor as of now contains “Brothers: A tale of two sons”, game brought me to tears so I created the category, shoved it in there and never played it again.)
mine would go something like:
stuff i play: 1
stuff i used to play: 3
stuff i got just because it was cheap: 983785789567I would play with Craig too
Wouldn’t games under Craig and Would play with Craig again overlap? Unless Craig has currently playing games.
They’re games we’ve not got around to yet or not finished yet, whereas the “would play” is ones we’re more or less done with but might come back to in the distant future. We don’t get to do it very often because we live in different timezones and he’s got two young chiddlers.

I tried to sort by genre too many times and failed due to how specific some games get. So now they are sorted by completion.
I also have a huge word document that has a very detailed, color-coded checklist of every game I have sorted alphabetically & by franchise, this was made so I could include any games from my other devices.
This is amazing! May I please copy your system? :')
Of course!
What’s in “DONE - DIDN’T LIKE”? I’m curious as to what you’ve finished despite not really digging it!
“Done” doesn’t always mean complete, generally that’s where games go that I didn’t finish, never returned, and don’t plan on ever playing again.
But to answer your question
Far Cry: horrible update, AI is broken, don’t care to fix it
Far Cry Primal: Didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it, caused major eye pain too so I couldn’t play long.
Penumbra: Requiem: Abandoned the vibes of the previous two penumbra games which were the precursors to the amnesia games, didn’t enjoy the puzzles either.
Planet Centauri: Development Hell, no interest anymore.
Sniper Elite: weird funky controls just not enjoyable for me got about midway through before tapping out.
We happy few: mostly abandoned by the devs, game suffered due to being rushed.
Out of those I beat 3, the rest I either didn’t make the return window or kept for library collection reasons.
