How do you organize your Steam library?

As many of us have, our Steam libraries have grown so much over the years that we have a huge backlog of games to play. It is hard to keep track of which game liked/disliked.

I see options like hide this game or putting games into collections, I’m interested in how do you keep track of the good and bad games? Games you would like to eventually come back to?

Not doing it

I mark the games I really like as favourites and have the option to show only the installed games turned on, that’s it. I don’t have time, will nor need to put everything into different categories.

I put it in respective collections:

  • ToDo
  • Completed
  • Gold & Completed
  • Sim
  • Casual
  • Local Multiplayer …

I organize by game release year. Not when it was released on steam or even PC but whenever that game was initially released on any platform. From 1997 to 2023.

I’ve got about two dozen collections dedicated to various single store tags, or combinations of tags, most of them genres, but a few like “multiplayer” “co-op”, etc.

I’ve never grouped them based on my opinion of them, but I do like that idea, and may start doing it now.

Favorites, Installed, Completed, Multiplayer, Will not play for a while

I sort by recently played and installed, so whatever I played or bought most recently is at the top, and no uninstalled games show up.

I have 4 main collections. I have favorites, multiplayer games that I play with friends, games that I have yet to finish but do plan on playing, and then games that I’ve finished. The unsorted stuff are games that I don’t plan on playing. Maybe I’ll get to the unsorted stuff someday, but not for the near future.

It’s simple enough for me to understand and manage.

Unsorted, favorites, beaten games, and a little category I call “shit games I’ll never play again”.

That keeps it organized enough and makes sure I remember which games I have played and hated so I don’t bother with them again.

I need to add that last section

I just call that category “Meh.” I also have a special category for those few games that I bought and never worked properly in Linux, but I hope one day will (mostly old DX9 stuff like Hexen II).

theragu40 ,

I needed something more strongly worded than meh, lol. I’d consider a meh category too. But these are games that made me actively angry to play :)

For the most part, I don’t. I do have two custom filters tho. One for classic FPS (IE “boomer shooters”) and one for Fromsoft games.

There’s the main ‘folder/category/thing’ every game is added to by default, one for favorites that’s already built into Steam, and two more I added called “meh” and “shit”.

The main folder acts as my unsorted/unplayed category, and Favorites/Meh/Shit covers pretty much everything else.

ElBarto ,

I sort by the 2 games I play and the a section for all the games I brought, never played or downloaded.

SheeEttin ,

I sort by last played. Sometimes by user score if I feel like trying something I’ve had but haven’t played yet.

Auster ,

In my case, it's even worse due to using other services too. What I end up doing is noting everything on digital sheets like LibreOffice, and trying to organize in a way that makes sense.
