so much to organize, damn you humble bundle
I’m late to the party, but I’ve categorized them by year. If I feel nostalgic, I just browse the top of the list.
Steam has categories?
Dishonored 3? Where did you find that one already?
It’s a category that has 3 items: Dishonored, Dishonored 2 and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.
This is the most logical
I hope that someday this will be automatic
Thank you for giving me inspiration of what to do with that feature!
i have 3 categories:
hentai
not hentai
stupid
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.
mine is just
- Favorites
- Multiplayer games my girlfriend also has
- Everything else
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 could never be this organized, but good for you tbh
And here I thought I had a huge backlog.
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
