    Smart move, you’re playing Game Categorization, the Game for free on Steam’s dime.

        We’re not buying games, we’re categorizing games. Again, the game we’re playing is called “Game Categorization, the Game,” and it costs nothing to play it.

      Same here. I do use 2 dynamic collections: Installed Locally and Full Controller Support. That’s basically just to make it easier to pick stuff to play from the couch.

      Otherwise it’s all in one big bucket, but it’s a searchable bucket, so that’s fine.

  • Man, calling them “backlogs” seems like a very unhealthy way of thinking about it. They’re games you play for fun and enjoyment, not work you’re behind on.

    My categories are: Games I shall play one day: just all the games I haven’t given a fair shake yet and would like to get around to at some point.

    Games I am playing: games that I am actively playing, usually with some activity within the last month

    Games I am done with: games I no longer want to play for whatever reason. Used to be “Games I have completed” but that didn’t make much sense with multiplayer games or roguelikes, and it worked better for games I hadn’t completed and just could not be arsed to complete.

    Free games: games I have gotten for free and so have no plans to play.

    Also have one for online multiplayer games and one for local multiplayer for when friends want to play something

    Most of the time tho I just use the sort by recent and only installed bittons since those are the games I want to see anyway

    I would do this.

    And then only play Rocket League.

    I’m surprised I didn’t see it mentioned here (unless I missed it) but I use the “hide game” function liberally. Anything I’m not interested in, gave up on with no chance of trying again, completed with no desire to revisit, or won’t touch for any other reason just goes away, out of sight. It helps give a real sense of progression through your collection and you can pare it down to favorites you would likely revisit and things you have yet to play. And the hidden tab is easily viewable if you ever want to look at everything for any reason like rethinking putting a particular game in there.

    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.
