"Uncategorized (250)" sums it up pretty well

Newest trending game tag in steam Craig-like and Craig-lites.

Not pictured: Won't make the mistake of playing with Craig again

I just use dynamic collections, eg. group games by their store-tags, eg. arpg, fps, puzzle, walking-sim, online-coop... etc, whatever I consider handy when going through all of it.

Sure, the categories have a lot of overlap, but I don't mind, the games list is a disaster anyway (>1300 games on account... yea.).

I used to maintain my own categories, but at some point the number of games started to be too much to do it by hand.

edit: One of the better features is to group games with online-coop with friends who have it too. Makes it a lot easier to find the next adventure to start after few beers.

I tried to sort by genre too many times and failed due to how specific some games get. So now they are sorted by completion.

I also have a huge word document that has a very detailed, color-coded checklist of every game I have sorted alphabetically & by franchise, this was made so I could include any games from my other devices.

I just have "Craig" and "Not Craig".

I think you'll find my naming scheme perfectly cromulent.

Wow am I the only gamer who had no idea you could organise games into groups in steam? It never even occurred to me to look for this feature

I need me a Craig.

mine would go something like:

stuff i play: 1
stuff i used to play: 3
stuff i got just because it was cheap: 983785789567

Craig

I have mine set up with a bunch of categories that are sorted with a prepended 3-digit number. Allows me to have different sections of category without it getting mixed up. ex:

010 S
011 A+
012 A
013 A-
014 B+
etc...
350 plz play soon
355 wont play
...
800 dont remember buying this

Lol, I have virtually the same system, though my Craig is called Dan

Oh fuck! To start, and to finish! What a great idea.

I just have genres, series, and have really nothing based on what I still have to play

Rhythm Games (15)

Favourites(12)

Uncategorised (210)

I theme mine on how I play them:

• play with friends

• play when I have a short amount of time

• more in-depth games

• completed

• unlikely to play (e.g. parts of bundles)

And yes, a bunch of uncategorized

Only ~250 games? Those are rookie numbers! /s

I haven't added anything to a category other than favorites in a while. Just can't be bothered. I use my 'favorites' as an installed and/or probably will play again.

“Welcome to the British Museum Collection of Egyptian Antiquities… My name’s Craig…”

I still dont understand how people play varied games so far. I only have limited times and I can only slot it to play my comfort games. Even when i have extended times, eventually I just play the same things again.

Nice. I have favorites and uncategorized 🫠

Although this might be why I never know what to play

favorites

not hentai

hentai

TBH tho I usually just use recent activity, but having genres, mechanics, and "vibes" helps me find the game I'm in the mood to install and play. Some of the catagories are essentially useless tho as most people who tag games have no clue what certain genre's actually are, so I have to curate some of these I care about, I have too many games to do it without steam tags though.

Wait what's the difference between "Craig" and "Would play with Craig again"?

before steam had the built in library categorization I used a third party tool that created categories automatically based on tags

which is to say I have way too many useless categories now and need to wipe them all and start over 🙁

Haha! I'm not the only one with categories that are just "friends name"

Favs, a category just for PoE, semi-favs, and then some dynamic lists to get a fake "all" list.

Friendly reminder that “backlogs“ are prisons of your own making. There is no moral imperative to play or complete every game you buy!

I just hide everything I don't want to play again. "Favorites" means "games I am playing right now". I have one real category of my own, which is "Finished", and actually means "maybe I beat this, or maybe I just got close enough and watched the ending on Youtube." Very few games are actually visible in "Finished" because mostly I don't replay games, so if I beat something, it goes into "Finished" and then gets hidden.

I have

1. "Pile of Shame" (started, never finished out of boredom, too long of a list tbh)

2. "Goated" (Always installed and ready to play, something like Sekiro, DS3, MHW)

3. "Co-op" (Couch Co-op Games for when friends are coming over. Having them in an extra list is easier to choose from)

The Rest ist unmanaged. Oh and I also just hide a game if it's a one-playthrough-only thing and I am finished.
