I would do this.
And then only play Rocket League.

I'm migrating away from steam and starting my library over.(Moving away from accounts and drm) So in the future my library will only have games that I have actually played and will play.
Yeah I'm buying games twice but no one likes captain hindsight.
I mean, if you've already paid for the games in the past, and you're going totally DRM free anyway... I feel like you're morally all good to go sailing.
Modern games are a pain in the ass and the download speeds are horrible. I'd rather just buy them and download the game in 2 hours.
I don't mind supporting the devs I like, anyways.

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
I think that's part of why you have a backlog.
In all seriousness though, I have a couple lists for like "Workshop" and "Souls like," otherwise it's just sorted by what's installed and most recent.
I do have a favorites list though.
Shooting boomers is not very nice.
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.
Ooh, emojis? The possibilities!
Not Steam emoticons though, unfortunately.
What a miss by steam! I might finally have something to use them for
My list is just my entire list, sorted by installed and recent. No folders, no organisation, just a very long list

I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don't fall into same trap =)
Now I have only 4:
- WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
- VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
- Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
- Done-done - for games which I'm not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.
I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It's more like recommendation
I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I'm free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.
It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.
I'm not organizing 1200 games. Nor will I ever play them all lol.
TIL there are Steam categories
How is your early access category so small?
I avoid early access in general, so I've only ended up with a handful from game bundles.
I have over 300 games in 2 categories:
- Favourites
- Uncategorized
So what are the 4 Souls-likes in your backlog?
Sekiro, Code Vein, The Surge, and Steel Rising.
Honestly the first three are candidates for the "Dropped" category, I've started and given up on them before. I want to give them each one more chance at some point.
Would be a shame to drop Sekiro. Definitely one of the hardest souls games but very redeeming once you get the hang of it.
Code Vein is very rough around the edges but has a cool art style and interesting boss designs. Also has a banger soundtrack by Go Shiina, best known for Demon Slayer. Some of the boss themes go really hard. Pretty good in coop but probably wouldn't have finished it alone.
Did not enjoy The Surge and did not play Steel Rising.
My problem with most Souls-likes is the slow/clunky (for lack of a better word) combat. I've bounced off Code Vein, The Surge, and Elden Ring (which was a refund instead of a backlog) over this. I want to try them again with an open mind at some point though, just with adjusted expectations.
Sekiro on the other hand I really liked the combat of, the reason it got backlogged is because I got tired of fighting through all the grunt enemies between deaths to bosses/mini-bosses. I like difficult bosses if I can immediately try again upon death (a la Furi), but it felt like Sekiro was wasting my time in comparison because I had to GET to the boss again for each attempt. The grunts didn't pose enough of a challenge to be interesting, just enough to slow me down.
I'm not sure if that's a common thing throughout the game, or if it was just in the areas leading up to the point where I stopped, but I am definitely planning on giving it another shot either way. It's been a few years since I last played it.

Poor VR, all the way at the bottom below shovelware.
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 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.
I just sort my library by rating to see what I'll play next.
I have an "immediate backlog" of 5 games, about 30 in my "primary backlog," and about 60 in my "backlog." I promote or demote based on vibe and try to play 1 game at a time. I also have a tight curation of favorites and Steam Deck bangers.
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.
my dad's garage is like this
A lot of backlog eh
I'm onto his antics.. it's a mix of strategic time waste projects, shit being worked on that continually needs more, and the far off dreams of a man with more free time
😢

Well my list is this:
- installed shit
- all
I am in awe of your organization.
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
