    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 actually like that… Mostly I have categories for genres, publishers, and planning for playing (not like I actually follow it…) but I like some of yours and will probably adopt them

    Mine is pretty similar, except I just throw my backlog into a big category called “Haven’t Touched”. Been meaning to make a separate folder for Early Access games I’ve temporarily dropped until they release.

    I just sort by recent and that’s it 🤷‍♂️ if it falls off and I forget about it, I guess it’s gone

    It would be cool to see an export of that game list by category.

    Dunno if steam has any way of doing that
