    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.

    I have an “immediate backlog” of 5 games, about 30 in my “primary backlog,” and about 60 in my “backlog.” I promote or demote based on vibe and try to play 1 game at a time. I also have a tight curation of favorites and Steam Deck bangers.

    I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don’t fall into same trap =)

    Now I have only 4:

    • WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
    • VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
    • Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
    • Done-done - for games which I’m not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.

    I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It’s more like recommendation

    I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I’m free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.

    It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.

    I think I must use them wrong.

    My categories are mostly used to organise by where they’re installed - so Desktop, Laptop, Steam Deck Internal, Steam Deck SD Card 1, SD Card 2 etc. If I want to play that game, where’s it already installed?

    The only category that relates to the games content is “wheel games” which is driving games that work well with wheel/pedals/gearstick.

    I think that’s part of why you have a backlog.

    In all seriousness though, I have a couple lists for like “Workshop” and “Souls like,” otherwise it’s just sorted by what’s installed and most recent.

    I do have a favorites list though.
