Yes! They have the install button on there in the corner. Just switch that for play when installed!

This is not a healthy way to react to a new UI.New steam library.
What the fuck is this stupid shit.
I had the list of installed stuff in grid view, 1 click and I'm playing, 1 fucking click. Now this bloated shit uses almost 1 gb of ram, loads 3 times as long, shows useless trash what's new. To play I have to switch to dynamic collection of installed games, click on a game, go to spam landing page, click on play. Why the fuck would I need all that noise.
And all those vertical cancer tiles lol, just suck your free dota money and gtfo.
And the kicker
this trash doesn't even function properly
The Prodigal Sons came back with Jedis and Kings
Yes, I will make this happen.
Maybe I pretend too much but is there something to automatically update the ugly incomplete cover art in the new steam library?
Just signed up for a year of Origin Premier. I had $10 left on my basic subscription, which they refunded, so for a year I paid $90. Not too shabby. Looking forward to Fallen Order; it's just sitting there in my library, waiting to pre-load. Oh and Plague Tale and Darksiders III are on Premier; two games I've been wanting to play.

Does it mean we need to be wary of razorblades hidden in the new thread?
Hahahahaha what happened to no reviews allowed? Sure showed them Timmy with your spat attacks at the customer!
Also, that Steam Library thread. Fucking yeesh what hot takes galore that is.
Eh it has always been no user reviews. So they're not really going back on something they said this time
Unlike no sales, and no bad games
"No mandatory sales"
>has sales without warning pubs or devs, burning their public image for removing games or changing prices
"but uh it wasn't mandatory"
"No shitty games"
>say no to Assault Android Cactus but yes to RollerCoaster mobile bullshit
"No user reviews"
>puts opencritic in
"We said no users"

The issue was review bombing, which does happen. Tim also talked about adding reviews at least as far back as December last year.
This is actually an interesting idea. If someone publishes a game and doesn't allow reviews for it, I can put them in the trash list and not bother with their games ever.
I understand the point of it being a critic-orientated review system but it still feels like them dancing around previous arguments against review systems that actually could help customers decide on a purchase. Yeah review bombing can suck dependent of the situation but I really dislike having absolutely no choice to read user opinions and not just critic views. I align to some degree with some critics but for the most part I feel they are not as representative as a raw user review may be. Though in saying this the Epic Store has gone back on a lot of what they said they wouldn't do so who knows really, maybe they'll finally implement AUD and not keep charging me a regional pricing hit and a conversion rate hit that makes games stupidly priced.
Oh man, the new game banners are AMAZING.
I typically have 30-50 games installed at any time. A lot of mainstays that will never move (CK2) but mostly stuff in active rotation or things I like to pick away at over time.
Seeing all those gorgeous banners instantly reminds me of what might have been sitting on the shelf for too long and makes them look way more attractive than a simple text line on the left of the screen. Makes me wanna impulse-play a lot of those titles.
Really cool that the images float up when you mouse over them with the addition of a pop-up menu cycling screenshots and info.
SUPER happy with it on first blush.
Best part for me is the "whats new". When you play so many games that get updates, it is nice to get a reminder when some old game you uninstalled gets a major thing.

Now, my main complains/requests:
-Ability to reorganize yourself in alphabetical order / change name titles (for sequels that might not be in correct order)
-More power in Dynamic collection: Publisher and Developer EDIT: and Franchise
-Easier ability to select what events you want to see from each dev (and ability to do it from a game page too)
-Add a "random recomendation". Use the current deep learning algorithm they have to recommend you a game you own but havent played for a while.
-Add tag information in the detail view in the game pages:
-Add a "More like this" tab that shows other recomendations you can purchase from the store (example for Stellaris):
-Event Calendar. I want it as soon as possible, with ability to create own events in groups.
-Possibility of Only having the List view (as some people ask for it)
Edit:
Let me choose the tile size without going into Library Settings, directly from the top corner as in the previous grid design.
Improve the achivements so that they have different types of shiny depending on rarity (not only the less or equal 10%) and have the shininess stay in the achivement page.
Let me organize the order of the community features in the right side of the games. For instance I would like to have Workshop on top:
On the grid images, the install button that is on the down left side should becomes the play button once installed, so you can launch games from there in a single button press (left uninstalled and right installed, WHY DOESNT THE RIGHT ONE HAVE A QUICK PLAY BUTTON)

I am baffled by all the steam UI hate. I tried it for 10 minutes and thought it was brilliant. Technical issues aside, whats new feature, dynamic collections-snapshot, adding shelves to the home page, organizing any category by hours played, metacritc, last played etc, showcasing all community friends activity with each game.
I have no doubt Valve will constantly be adding new features and improvements as time goes by.
What happened to DLC section of the library?

Eh, people tend to hate changes until they get used to it / their workflow adapts to it (and this change seems to have removed something that many liked in the small view). Same happened with the Chat update tbf.
You can manage the DLC now from the game page, if you scroll down:
And that reminds me another thing I want to change on the UI lol.
How do those dynamic collections work? Can I have a game in my own category/collection and also in two or three of those dynamic ones?
in case you didn't know about it, steamgriddb is lit

Games can be in more than one collection / dynamic collection .
Dynamic collection automatically grab any game that features the characteristics given (such as Tags, being installed (if uninstalled it is removed)). A game can be in more than 1 dynamic collection or 1 collection at the same time
Edit: Another thing I want added is that the install button that is on the down left side becomes the play button once installed, so you can launch games from the capsule.
Yep! Took me some time to get used to it, but this is how I feel now.
What's new section is my and most people's complaint, i dont care for that and there is no option currently to remove it. Also you have to scroll to see your games.
And franchise.
Though I wonder if the freeform text fields might make the publisher and developer stuff a bit wonky.
It was possible to play with 1 mouse click, uninstall with 1 as well. The features you mentioned is 'playing steam' like rearranging 100 icons in a folder manually in pixel perfect positions in win xp. In every folder.
What's New is an excellent addition. I don't mind scrolling through my community page but this is way easier to see what all's going on. Hopefully it encourages more devs to post that kinda stuff too.
