I'm mildly proud of how I categorise my games on Steam and interested to see others' methods
(feddit.nl)
They're in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.
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.
This is how I go about it, too. I also use the favourites feature to self-curate games to reduce choice anxiety when I want to play something.
Whenever I buy a game, it gets favourited, whenever I'm done with a game, it gets unfavorited.
If I play some game a lot or feel like playing some game when I have time, I favourite it.
This way anytime I want to play, I have a short list of games to consider, instead of trying to look through my whole library.
yea I do also use the favorites (and two other manual lists), but thats about it. Mostly I just use the "last played" view of the library and hide games which aren't installed locally.
