    I really like the look. Steam has needed a redesign for a while.

      Seriously this. I don't even have that many games but the old system had me basically creating a "new" tag that I'd assign to any games I'd buy until I'd beaten them because otherwise it was a long list I'd have to look through every time.

      I'm glad to see we'll now have big vertical tiles with some sort of visual indicator. I'm also glad to see there will be better sorting and "tag" searching. I hope the sort has an option for "most recently purchased."

        Right now, the tag system is a good idea, but it's way to janky to be useful.

    I've long hoped for a better tag-like system, honestly anything that helps sort games a bit. I'm too ashamed to say the number out loud but through dozens of humble bundles and Steam sales, my library is absurdly huge, it's not feasible to just scroll anymore. Something about the "categories" they introduced years ago didn't quite work for me, I think because "no category" was treated like a category of its own and that messed something up for me? I just ended up never using it. I wonder if this is a little more useful, now.
