Changed up my Steam collection/shelves a bit, these are ranked from top shelf to bottom shelf, all the games in these shelfes are installed:
- Games I wanna finish
Top shelf, consist of "one and done" games I have installed
- Diverse
Consist of games that doesn't really fit in the other categories and are a mix of F2p, GAAS and in general games that doesn't end, like Halo MCC, Deep Rock Galactic, CS GO, MH World,
- Strategy
Games like AoE2 DE, Hearts of Iron 4, Civ V, Stellaris, XCOM etc.
- Roguelikes
Games like Isaac, Dead Cells, Hades, Dungeon of the Endless etc.
- Sandbox
A bit of a mix, but usually games you can do mostly what you want the way you want. Forest, Bannerlord, Stardew Valley, Subnautica etc.
- Management/Building
Games like Cities Skylines, Factorio, Parkitect, Oxygen not Included etc. Satisfactory will be here
- VR - Play
VR games I have installed or games that can also be played in non-VR, but I play them in VR like Thumper and Elite Dangerous
Other than that I have 3 collections that aren't as shelf:
- VR (VR games, dynamic collection so all VR supported games get automatically added
- Games I need to remember to play ( not installed one and done games that I want to remember to play, mostly hand picked, but I use Steam Labs "Play Next" experiment to add to it at times. This collection has helped a ton with my backlog as I don't need to look after games in my library, I just drag them to my "Games I wanna finish" shelf from this collection)
- Uncategorized (the rest of my library that is not installed and not in the collection above)
Think this is the best way for me.
I don't have non-Steam games in my library as I use GOG Galaxy 2 for them. I only open GOG Galaxy when there is a game I want to boot up, Steam is open all the time.
