So I utilize and love the Steam Category options, my only minor gripe is that you can only set them to a single category at a time (excluding Favorites) so for someone as occasionally neurotic at sorting as I am at times, it can be an occasional pain. As such I will use a modified version of my categories as tags for the games I review (Steam or otherwise).
Name(s) (Tear)
Developer/Manufacturer
Platform
Classification(s)
The Game Title will also be the name of the post for easy browsing in the calendar. Some titles are known to have alternative titles, change at some point after release or have a ridiculous amount of sub-titles like a George Lucas productions. The Year will be included to differentiate the version of the game played. With all the reboots, remasters, re-releases, etc saturating the market at the moment I just want to let you know what version I'm talking about to clear up any conclusion. The Developer will be listed for my own benefit. I'm embarrassed to admit this but I'm very NOT in the know as to who makes what games aside from a few favorites or things I picked up thru repetition or attrition. Platform, again most will be the PC but I may reference back to anything I may have previously played elsewhere, etc.
Classifications:
Single - single player campaign (option); arcade or puzzle/platformer derivative
Co-Op - cooperative campaign setting (optional or required); specifically LAN style or otherwise
Multiplayer - online connection required, thrown out into the tubes like a little lamb for the slaughter, god help you with rando PUGs.
Arcade - minimal writing, text typically optional for intensive purposes (i.e. Pac-man)
Instance - Various maps with objectives to complete (i.e. any MOBA, TF2)
Sandbox - open world wandering environment (i.e. GTA series)
Story - some actual writing was done for the game and a narrative suggests you move in a particular direction of sorts. (i.e. Assassin's Creed series)
**to be added to as I determine other specifics**
