so much to organize, damn you humble bundle

    The majority of backlogs being in “other” is because you bought hundreds of games you don’t remember buying or what genre they are, right? 😆

      Mostly games that don’t fit into an existing category that I don’t feel like creating a dedicated category for. Like I could create a stealth category for Thief and Hitman, but it would only contain those two games. Then there’s games like Transistor, Cloudpunk, Spiritfarer, etc where I just don’t know how I could even categorize them.

    I go by main genre - so Action, Adventure, RPG, ARPG, Rhythm, VR, you get it.

    Then a Beaten, Beaten 100%, Shelved, “The Bin”, and a “Multiplayer” category. Games are allowed in multiple categories. The Bin does not hold many games, you’ve gotta earn being thrown in the trash.

    That way, when I think, “I wanna play a Rogue Like” I don’t have to recall all their titles or anything. Then my Steam Deck came around and the default big picture view makes my sorting… Mostly useless.

    I actually like that… Mostly I have categories for genres, publishers, and planning for playing (not like I actually follow it…) but I like some of yours and will probably adopt them

    Mine is pretty similar, except I just throw my backlog into a big category called “Haven’t Touched”. Been meaning to make a separate folder for Early Access games I’ve temporarily dropped until they release.

    I just sort by recent and that’s it 🤷‍♂️ if it falls off and I forget about it, I guess it’s gone

    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.
