They're in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.

I have 25 games on steam so I don't need to organize them
I joined steam in 2009

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

  • Now Playing (Has exactly one game mostly, or zero, when I close the game)
  • Everything else

Implies:I Don't categorize

favorites

not hentai

hentai

I like the implication that there's a third state of neither hentai nor non-hentai games.

Working on it - Stuff I'm in the middle of

Leeloo Dalass Multipass - Anying that is 2 or more players

Done Did - Games that I've done did

Then title groupings for anything with 5 or more installments.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

1 - currently playing 2 - favorites (contains games that I often replay, even if I finished them) 3 - next up 4 - finished (games that I finished, I.e. i saw the credits of) 5 - completed (games that I finished and have 100% achievements on) 6 - abandoned (tried the game, didnt click with it, unlikely to be picked up in the future)

  • Favorites (13)
  • Hall of honor (1)
  • Local Multiplayer (6)
  • Trash Bin (11)
  • Uncategorized (92)

(Hall of honor as of now contains "Brothers: A tale of two sons", game brought me to tears so I created the category, shoved it in there and never played it again.)

I would play with Craig too

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I use genre categories to which I assign games I have completed.

We have to play?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I have three categories:

  • Completed
  • In Progress
  • Uncategorized

They go into In Progress when they're installed.

They go into completed when I've finished them. Either 100% achievements or completed to my own satisfaction if no achievements.

If I lose interest and uninstall they drop back into Uncategorized until I'm ready to pick them up again.

Hmmm, I'd like to see Craig's list.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

i had them organised once upon a time but then i switched laptops and the categories didn't transfer so i just, never did that again

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Yeah seriously the only two categories I have are favorites (games that are installed), and everything else (games that aren't installed).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You can even sort them conditionally, so I have a folder with games I haven't played and it updates automatically

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I bet that number usually only goes up

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago
  • Favorites (I'll play again after finishing) (21 games)
  • Completed (I've finished and probably won't play again) (430 games)
  • Dead Games (online games that are literally unplayable due to servers going down) (3 games)
  • TBD (I haven't finished yet) (140 games)

Completed also includes things I decided weren't worth playing anymore, mostly from bundles back in the day. Stuff like Fallout Tactics and some of the XCOM spinoffs.

That's not how we say Craig in the rest of the world!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's not? How do you say it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Very similar to my own system!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Always looking for couch co-op recommendations if you have any to share?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

These would be

  • Battleblock Theater

  • Castle Crashers

  • Children of Morta

  • Divinity Original Sin 2

  • Ember Knights

  • Guacamelee

  • ibb & obb (I dont like it)

  • Magicka 2

  • Overcooked 2

  • Sackboy

  • Speedrunners

  • The Swords of Ditto (I think thats my favorite, Zelda like but co-op able. Played it with my younger cousin and was tons of fun. Very short though, under 10hours)

  • Ultimate Chicken Horse (dont like it)

  • Multiple Worms Games but theyre all pretty much the same

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

A few games in my favorites and the rest is uncategorized (i only have like 20 games though so that's not much of a problem)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Installed Locally (17)

Uncategorized (1447)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I put the games I care about into genres. There's a lot in my library I don't really bother with though and I just lump that in its own category.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

I tried that, but most genre folders have become pretty useless over time because they're either too similar to each other or somehow games found their way into wrong ones
