Cleaning out steam library

Hey guys. After buying too many bundles I've been trying to be good and working my way through my steam backlog and not buying new games (for now...Prey looks good...).

Its been going fine, I've finished around half so far but I'm considering using steams delete option to remove some of the terrible games permanently from my library rather than forcing myself to play and finish them.

I was hoping to ask a big favor; if anyone could let me know if there are any games in this list of games I haven't played yet that are pretty good and I should prioritize playing, or any that are just super awful and I can just delete from my library and just not bother with.

Wow, you have bought a lot of sh!te...
Yeah there's a lot of rubbish, I just bought a load of the humble bundles and claimed the free game giveaways and now there's just a load of junk in my library. I've stopped doing that now and am even holding off buying new releases until I can at least get through a good percentage of what I already have.

I really appreciate people filtering out the good games here. I've played some pretty terrible games sat in my library and it was killing my motivation to keep going through my backlog. I'll be using this thread as a reference for my next few games.

I should also say this isn't my entire library, just the games I haven't played yet.
 
It's a shame you can't just package these licences up back in to your inventory so you can give them away. By the time I've finished my Steam library will probably be halved. :D
I'd love to be able to do that, especially for games that have 0 hours play time seems fair.

Your steam games list is your epeen, deleting stuff would be like....well.....install eveything and laugh at the lesser people!
If that's the case it might be big but has lots of warts, from what I'm reading I have a few games to try out of the list but most are trash haha.
