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.
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
I use genre categories to which I assign games I have completed.
We have to categorise?
We have to play?
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.
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 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
Yeah seriously the only two categories I have are favorites (games that are installed), and everything else (games that aren't installed).
You can even sort them conditionally, so I have a folder with games I haven't played and it updates automatically
I bet that number usually only goes up
Only ~250 games? Those are rookie numbers! /s
Lol, I have virtually the same system, though my Craig is called Dan
- 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!
It's not? How do you say it?
Creig
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
Very similar to my own system!
Craig
I have
-
"Pile of Shame" (started, never finished out of boredom, too long of a list tbh)
-
"Goated" (Always installed and ready to play, something like Sekiro, DS3, MHW)
-
"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.
Always looking for couch co-op recommendations if you have any to share?
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
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
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)
Installed Locally (17)
Uncategorized (1447)
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.
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
