How to find RPG games in my steam library?
So this might sound stupid, but I've kinda lost the overview over all the games I have on steam, which now becomes a problem, since I don't know how to find games I actually want to play.
I want to find a few turn-based RPG games that are made to look like 8-bit-games, like Call of Cthulhu, Breath of Fire VII or the old Final Fantasy games. Do you have any advice on how to efficiently search my steam library for games like that?

An alternative method is to use depressurizer for Steam. It's an open source application that reads your game library and then will set the categories as they appear in the marketplace. As the blurb says:
Depressurizer can also autocategorize your games for you. Currently, it does so based on data from that games' Steam store pages. It can use genres, store categories (like "Single-Player" and "Steam Cloud") or tags.
Using these tags, you can set your game library into categories and easily find the game styles you want. This does rely on marketplace genres or user suggested tags, so it's not infallible.
I'm not associated with the program, but have used it before several times

You can set categories for each game (right click -> set categories...). You can set multiple categories per game. Also, searching for category names in the search bar will show all games with that category.
(I should note that i am using the newest beta version of the client, which may have new features implemented which might be unavailable in the regular client.)

Lorenzo Stanco provides a steam library filter. You can post your steam id and sort your library by tags.
