That's why I use Playnite
Oh good, it's like a launcher for my launchers.
Yo dawg...
Jokes on you but that is what it actually is.
It still will launch a launcher if it needs to, but at least you can see all of your games in one place
Which is absolutely a must if you have a huge library across multiple platforms. How else will I find out if that indie gem in the latest Humble Bundle is already in the library somewhere?
Joking aside, Playnite is especially awesome if you like admiring a collection in gallery view. The "sorting title" feature is exactly what we need in a day and age where publishers don't give a fuck about proper naming schemes.
They be like:
- Game
- Game II - Electric Boogaloo
- Game 3: Definition of Insanity
- Game™, the Return of Shenanigans
- Game V; "Definitely the Last One"™
I just want my collection displayed in the proper order, stop that shit!
DOOM
DOOM II
DOOM III
DOOM
DOOM Eternal
Ah yes, DOOM... Which is not DOOM IV, because that was a separate project that has been cancelled.

Playnite is sick. I’ve spent a ton of hours writing my own themes to customize it and set up categories for all of my games. And by that point I don’t even want to play the game I opened it for anymore lol
Really liked it, too bad it's not for Linux
Heroic launcher
Heroic is pretty good too. Supports a lot fewer stores than Playnite (only Epic, GOG, and Amazon at the moment), but it doesn't require any of the original launcher to be installed in order to download and play any games (with a few exceptions, such the the Star Wars games on Epic which still require the original launcher due to some fuckery).
Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and on the latter two, will even help you set up and configure Wine automatically in order to run your Windows games.
