I categorize them based on their franchise. But if they're not part of any franchise or they're the only game I have they'd just be uncategorized.

[–] Tenkard@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

Thank you for giving me inspiration of what to do with that feature!

[–] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I could never be this organized, but good for you tbh

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think I must use them wrong.

My categories are mostly used to organise by where they're installed - so Desktop, Laptop, Steam Deck Internal, Steam Deck SD Card 1, SD Card 2 etc. If I want to play that game, where's it already installed?

The only category that relates to the games content is "wheel games" which is driving games that work well with wheel/pedals/gearstick.

Poor VR, all the way at the bottom below shovelware.

[–] atmur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Very much intentional since I don't own a headset at the moment. If I ever get one again, I'll give the category an emoji to push it back towards the top lol

I just sort my library by rating to see what I'll play next.

[–] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I feel you bundley pain. I have: favourites, check in future/ early access, completed, currently paying, deck games, escape rooms, games for my wife to try, horror, humble games to try, local multiplayer, multiplayer, new need to try, played kinda sucked, puzzle, RPG, RTS, shooter, sofa games, VR games.

New need to try is for the humble bundle games I'm actually interested in and the humble games to try is for the ones which are just extras.

Goals. Holy, I know what I'm doing tomorrow instead of gaming.

[–] Spellbound@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Whoa I don't even know you can categorize steam games like this, thanks for showing

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am somewhat bad about organizing on Steam. All I have for categories are pretty much games I got for free, paid for indie titles, paid for non-indie titles, and emulators. Would be better if I better organized them, but I wouldn't know where to start and would most likely procrastinate on it indefinitely because of the number of things I have in library.

[–] Shape4985@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I dont have this many lists. I keep mine as finished, currently playing, broken and then some dynamic lists based on category such as rougelike, horror etc

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

Dunno if steam has any way of doing that

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

And here I thought I had a huge backlog.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I just have unplayed, installed locally, and good games.

I often forget to update the good games folder so it's iffy as to whether or not all of my good games are in there yet at any given time.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] padge@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How is your early access category so small?

[–] atmur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I avoid early access in general, so I've only ended up with a handful from game bundles.

[–] hushable@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I categorise them by genre, but only those I've played. Everything else is unsorted and my backlog is whatever I have installed and uncategorised.
