They're in order of likelihood of being played. Craig is a mate of mine who I play with when time permits.
Favs, a category just for PoE, semi-favs, and then some dynamic lists to get a fake "all" list.
I love how PoE sits between "Favorites" and "Anything I might actually like". I think that sums up my relationship with PoE as well.
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?
(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
Currently:
Soon to be added:
I have three categories:
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.
Favorites - Games I'm playing very frequently
Bugged - Games I might try again if specific bugs are fixed.
Classic - Games I play less frequently but still plan to again
Couch - Games that would only be fun to play on a couch with friends. if I had a couch. or friends.
Doze - Games that require tweaks to proton to work on my Linux desktop.
Meh - Games I'm not playing again.
Old - Finished games I'd only install again if it had a massive update.
Testing - Uncategorized games I haven't made up my mind on.
I have no category for games I play often, I have "played" for games I likely won't play again. And I have "shitty trash" for well those. I also have uber trash for sacred 3 and two worlds
The games in progress I mark as favorites, I have “Finished” and “Play Next” categories, and I have a big dump category called “Won’t Play”.
Aside from that, I have some big categories for collections of old games from humble bundles and steam sales, like legacy Myst, Wizardry, or Sierra games, or like Star Wars game collections.
Needs a "morally obligated to never play again" for Spec Ops and OneShot
I just have installed and finished. Also emulator categories created by emudeck
Looking at some of these... I'd never even considered sectioning them by genre - mine's mostly by physical location - if I want to play that game, where's it already installed?
So there's :
Desktop, Laptop, Deck Internal, Deck SD1 (and SD2, 3 & 4 for removable SD cards)
Then like most people, I've got a "Complete" and a "Maybe [person's name]" for ones the missus might enjoy.
The only sort of grouping is "Wheel Games", which is basically driving games, but the type you want to play with wheel & pedals, not just a controller. My wheel and pedals aren't set up permanently, so when they are set up, I pretty much only play all the Euro Truck/Bus Sims, Dirt Rally, F1, Revhead, BeamNG sort of games etc.
I did also use to have lists for my laptop and hand-me-down PC, and one called "need a better computer", but my laptop's since given up the ghost and I have a better computer.
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)
Didn't even know I could do that :') thanks
I'll come back to this when I sorted them... although I really do like your system.
Its a little more convoluted than I'd like. I Should really merge things like Meh/ Package deal/Discontinued/kinda done though
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.
I use genre categories to which I assign games I have completed.
Working on it - Stuff I'm in the middle of
Leeloo Dallas 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.
Implies:
I Don't categorize
I have 25 games on steam so I don't need to organize them
I joined steam in 2009
Might have to adapt this for my own use
Could be something to spend hours on, you know, instead of playing Horizon ZD, Jedi Survivor, Life is Strange, Tell Me Why, or the Tomb raider series.
And those are just the story based
Something similar.
For example - "done and complete" is Portal 2. Great experience, but no reason to just replay it. "Done and meh" could be games where I gave up trying.
Then it's
Finally it's specific categories about how it makes me "feel".
The valve tags are better if i want granular.
