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?
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 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
Well my list is this:
- installed shit
- all
Smart move, you’re playing Game Categorization, the Game for free on Steam’s dime.
One of my favorites, I can’t wait for the sequel
It’s not free, though. All the items in the list are paid DLC…
We’re not buying games, we’re categorizing games. Again, the game we’re playing is called “Game Categorization, the Game,” and it costs nothing to play it.
