Since we're talking about Steam... is there any way to check _in my library_: which ones are RPG, which ones are 3D and visually stunning (I just bought a fancy card and want to test drive)? API is fine.

The only way I've found to do that is to go through and manually tag the games myself.

Sorting by recommended system requirements would be pretty cool. Library listings for games could definitely benefit from the addition of genre/category tags. It's annoying having to go to the store page to check what kind of game it is.

They teased an update for the Steam library recently, I think better filtering functionality is part of it. Not sure when it's coming out though, but since it's Valve time, you never know anyways.

To avoid the hassle of categorising games manually, I've been using https://github.com/Depressurizer/Depressurizer https://github.com/Depressurizer/Depressurizer It took me a couple of tries to get a functioning setup with an older version, but it's working now and they seem to have improved the UI a bit. It allows automatically making categories in your library based on genres and user-defined tags from steam as well as some other things like ratings and time to beat

I've recently turned my really old web-based PHP version into a cli: https://github.com/Vultour/steamcli https://github.com/Vultour/steamcli It's pretty rough, but lets you filter your games based on the user tags on each game. You can also filter games between multiple accounts at the same time, which was the main feature of the original version.

I use this site fairly often for those kind of searches: https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/ https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/ It won't work for everything (for example, I don't think it'll help with "visually stunning"), but it works well for finding games of particular genres, ones with local co-op multiplayer, and so on.
