    I’m surprised I didn’t see it mentioned here (unless I missed it) but I use the “hide game” function liberally. Anything I’m not interested in, gave up on with no chance of trying again, completed with no desire to revisit, or won’t touch for any other reason just goes away, out of sight. It helps give a real sense of progression through your collection and you can pare it down to favorites you would likely revisit and things you have yet to play. And the hidden tab is easily viewable if you ever want to look at everything for any reason like rethinking putting a particular game in there.

    Thats a lot of categories. I’ve got “current”, “Done with”, “never again” and the uncategorized, since functionally that is my backlog.

    The majority of backlogs being in “other” is because you bought hundreds of games you don’t remember buying or what genre they are, right? 😆

      Mostly games that don’t fit into an existing category that I don’t feel like creating a dedicated category for. Like I could create a stealth category for Thief and Hitman, but it would only contain those two games. Then there’s games like Transistor, Cloudpunk, Spiritfarer, etc where I just don’t know how I could even categorize them.

    I go by main genre - so Action, Adventure, RPG, ARPG, Rhythm, VR, you get it.

    Then a Beaten, Beaten 100%, Shelved, “The Bin”, and a “Multiplayer” category. Games are allowed in multiple categories. The Bin does not hold many games, you’ve gotta earn being thrown in the trash.

    That way, when I think, “I wanna play a Rogue Like” I don’t have to recall all their titles or anything. Then my Steam Deck came around and the default big picture view makes my sorting… Mostly useless.

    I currently have it sorted by year (I used some year date from Steam, but that isn’t super accurate as I think it’s the date it was added to Steam). I think I used Depressurizer?

    I used to have it sorted by the Steam score, IIRC.

    I stopped doing that after the first few hundreds… Now I’m at >5000 or so and only do a “bought to actually play” category 😁

    Yes, I’ve got then by genre, completed, to be played, “butt ugly indies” and “devil’s lettuce approved”
