Going to be honest did not know this was a feature.

It was announced a couple weeks ago and is still in beta (see: The Verge)

I’m not sure to the extent in which they are private, but in my testing they DON’T appear in the following places:

  • The “Steam Replay” thing.
  • Whatever ProtonDB uses to query your owned games.
  • Your recent activity (it also doesn’t also doesn’t count your playtime when displaying the “total time play time” in the last 2 weeks).

Not sure if they are hidden in your owned games list on your profile, but I assume they would be.

Note that the count of games you own (which is public) does seem to include hidden games, if that’s a concern.

Whatever ProtonDB uses to query your owned games.

I tried this and it properly hid my game, both logged into ProtonDB as well as logged out. Also showed back up when I unmarked it as private.

Well Tears of the Kingdom ate up about 4 months of the year for me. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was a game I had been waiting 20 years to play. So that was really nice. I just wish there was more of it to be honest haha.

Resident evil 4 remake and Bloodborne were my next favorites.

Vampire Survivors completely drew me in this year.

A couple of years ago, I was having dreams of designing train lines in Cities Skylines. A couple of days ago I was having a dream of weapon combos in Vampire Survivors. That's how you spot a good and influential game.

For me it still has to be grim dawn. I play so many games and I get bored with all of them but grim Dawn has been very consistent. And the idea of a DLC coming out is phenomenal. The latest update also added a shit ton of quality of life changes that just make it even more fun to play.

Hard to pick. I would say my favorite new game is Slay the Princess. My favorite game I’ve returned to, and I returned to a lot this year, is Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, brother.

Well the best overall for me has to be Disco Elysium. Game is just astounding. Tears at my heart. Pentiment is a close second. But my god was that one a bit more miserable. Recommend for anyone that enjoys a good story.

From purely a fun standpoint, Rollerdrome and Hi-Fi Rush were absolutely killer. Incredibly tight gameplay. Super satisfying to “get good” at. Rollerdrome was the first game I was motivated enough to 100%, it was that fun.

It’s kind of crazy looking back at how many games I got through in a year. Could’ve sworn I had played these years ago. What is time, even? 🫠

randomsnark,

I also played disco elysium for the first time this year, and it would be my answer too.

It would probably be better if you said the game that you wanted to do this with.

and

Private is subjective. Do you mean as solo play or with friends. Most games have options to cover both instances.

OP is not referring to private lobbies in a game, they are referring to marking a game private on Steam itself, a feature that hides from the world (and your friends) that you own or interact with a game.

help.steampowered.com/en/…/1150-C06F-4D62-4966

They’re basically asking if anyone who uses the feature has had the info leaked by Steam.

For when you don’t want your friends to know when you’re playing hentai games.

CalicoJack,

There are some SFW uses too. I use it when I play things my nieces and nephews like, so they don’t flood me with party invites.

I just play while appearing offline, but that’s a good idea if I don’t want to be appearing offline and I don’t want my playtime to be visible to them lol.

I finally finished Zelda II this year and really enjoyed it.

SpookyUnderwear,

That game gets shit on a lot, but I’ve always enjoyed it. People don’t like it because it’s different.

SpookyUnderwear, do games w What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )

Throughout the year I played:

-Secret of Mana (haven’t played in 15 years or so. Game still holds up)

-Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (and the Torna DLC). The main story is fantastic. A bit quantity of quality with all the Blades.

-The Legend of Zelda: TOTK. This game is great. Ultra hand blows this game wide open

-Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Finish this one up now and about to start the DLC. Story IMO is the poorest of the 3 games. But they took the best of the first two game’s battle mechanics and improved that system.

Probably XC2. It was a lot of fun.

LOVE that it works with the Dualsense triggers and haptics.

Do you have alekon or start again ? I’ll take either what’s available.

Tunic, such a great combination of classic Zelda with puzzles and mechanics that keep evolving in crazy ways, felt similar to FEZ by the end for the true ending. The manual mechanic is one of my favorite ones in a long time.
