I wish we got a payment processor though

I personally have a bookmark folder with different genres (tags) displayed in order of new releases. This seems to be the best method for finding interesting new releases. Also works well for finding indie games that went below the radar so to speak.

I am interested in more niche genres, so there aren't too many updates. I would imagine this method would be unwieldy with a genre like RPG (CRPG works fine though).

Honestly in a way I think the best game recommendation and sorting systems are gaming communities on the fediverse like this one!

That's definitely true, this is more for finding interesting "just released" indie games.

In my opinion within the steam store finding good steam curators and going through their recent reviews is the best way to discover quality new games that are actually worth a second look.

Go into your steam library and go to the store page for some of your favorite games (preferably less well known games) and check out the steam curators who reviewed the game and start exploring!

I follow several gaming review content creators (some for 10+ years now), this is more for just released games.

We'll see, but I feel like big games tend to be recommended to me even when they gave nothing in common with what I play, what I'm currently looking for or the gane page I'm on.

Steampeek is what I rely on these days. Hope Sream meets that bar.
