I'm just curious how many of you guys use this tool and how do you usually manage them.
Would you mind to share yours?

I also have SteamVR. That wasn't my choice. One of my games just randomly got thrown into it. It previously wasn't a VR game.
I do mean to make categories though. Co-op specifically.

Games I am currently playing or intend to shortly so that they stand apart from everything else. Installed category got too big a while ago to exercise that function well.

My list of "favorite" games consist of all games I've installed.
It happen that I buy games and games and games, just to play the same one over and over. So when I finally play another game, it has to be installed first :P

Yeah, I have Remember Me, Poker Night 2, Ticket to Ride, and my currently played cRPG or JRPG there usually. (Recently moved Valkyria Chronicles to that last spot, since I'll be playing it next in January.)

It's actually super useful for MMOs, Greenlight, or Early Access games, to Follow them, so as to be able to keep tabs on updates from them.

Pretty sure Favorite is only used for Greenlight games, and then only as a categorization, so that you can easily find greenlight games marked as favorites later on. Not sure that has any real function of note.

Damn, that's what I ws thinking about recently. I tried to come up with a system to organize them but didn't like to search games every time, so I just have "Playlist" (Games I most likely feel like playing) and everything else, but I wanted to sort it by origin, too. Won, Given, Bought, Bundle, Free.

I have many categories set up, so I only use the Favorites as a reminder of what I want to play next ;)

  • Favorite: CS:GO

The other categories are numbers for ordering purposes:

  • 0 (this is like semi-favorite): All Witchers, cause I'm currently in love with Witcher 3, on my 2nd playthrough, and the next games I will play are Witcher 1 and 2.

  • 1: Best rated games / Games I really want to play more than others / Games I play often / Games I used to play / Games I loved.

  • 2: Games that looks good and I want to play but are not priorities.

  • 3-4: Rest.

I might have missed to change some game to the 1 category. But for now its kinda like this (the ones that doesn't appear are mostly Total War games).

Your steam account is weird. It says you only have 19 games, but if I view your full list of games it shows hundreds.

I have a list of all my games in a text file and I manually add every game I get to it. There is no order to the list, I just add the newest game to the bottom of the list or put them next to other similar games. I highlight the names of games that I want to play the most to make it easier when I am looking for a new game to play.

After I complete a game I move it to a different section for completed games and I rank them from best to worst on how much I enjoyed playing the game. I usually add some notes next to the game and put my total playtime for 1 playthrough so I will know about how long the game is in the future if I want to play it again. The notes can be describing the game or technical notes about how to get it to run properly so I don't have to look it up again in the future.

My favorites list consist of games I load up regularly or loved when I had them on console and play them a lot.

I've got 100 in my favorites list and I need to think about knocking that list down to cut back on clutter.

I favorite games that I want to keep coming back to. Once I've stopped playing a game for a while it goes back into the main categories list.

I categorise everything once it's installed. I give everything one category, kind of a legacy from when Steam only allowed one category for each game and I'm used to that now. There are a few extra categories I created though and I put a "+" on the end of them to denote that they aren't exclusive categories, if that makes sense. For example,
"TrackIR +" category so I can remember the games that support TrackIR,
"VR Support +",
"Memorable +" (where I keep a list of games that really left a mark on me),
"New Computer +" (where I expect I will need to wait til I have my next computer because of hardware reqs).

Games I haven't yet installed or backed up stay in the general "Games" category, i.e. uncategorised.
