Just use runelite, it's an alternative client which most everyone uses. If you want steam to track your runelite time/status as if you were playing on the steam client type exactly:
"C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\RuneLite\RuneLite.exe" %command%
into the launch options under properties settings when you right click this game in your library.

Info:
- It's Runescape, pick a skill and get it to 99
- MMO game with simple combat and skilling
- Serves as a very good idle game

Pros:
- Good sense of progress in both skills and equipment
- Lots of AFK options for people with little time
- A ton of content and quests for when actively playing
- The map is huge and the world is built well
- Quests, particularly the newer ones, flesh out the world and its inhabitants
- Do whatever, no forced goals
- Amazing wiki with almost all the knowledge you will ever need to know

Cons:
- Bots and scammers have infested every corner of the world
- Community can be rough at times
- Customer service is less than great
- The game can get incredibly grindy at the midgame

Oh... where to begin? At its core, this game is about hunting monsters to upgrade gear, and using that upgraded gear to hunter bigger monsters to upgrade that gear some more, and then using that really upgraded gear to hunt even bigger monsters.

Info:
- 3D "Bossfight" game, where most missions focus on taking down a large monster
- Multiple weapons to play and learn, and its possible to build and use every single weapon type on a single character
- A lot of monsters to hunt, although this game does have fewer monsters than previous installments
- Fairly long story mode/main campaign
- Developers are constantly adding content (for now)
- There are active events which cycle through, some of which may include unique monsters or special goals
- Co-op gameplay is fully optional, but is recommended
- Huge learning curve for newer players, it takes a while to get used to the game

Pros:
- Game looks amazing (if your computer can run it at higher graphics)
- The weapons are unique and play differently, with 14 different weapons
- A massive amount of content in the game, with many achivments and little secrets for completionists
- The locales (areas) are now full open worlds, and the hunt will take place without any loading screens
- Some of the more grindy aspects of previous games, such as grinding potion materials, have been streamlined
- The game is difficult but not overly punishing, and it rewards experienced players
- The combat is smooth, and the weapons' new moves add depth to combat
- Hunts, although long at first, grow rapidly shorter as players grow better and better at hunting the monster
- Monsters are incredibly detailed in terms of looks, and their attack patterns are fairly complex too
- Playing with other players can make the game much more fun or much more infuriating
- The developers are still adding content such as new monsters and events

Cons:
- There are still server issues, this far past launch
- The game is optimized poorly, and a higher end computer will be needed to run this game at higher graphics levels
- Although the basic mechanics are explained, too many of the more complex mechanics are left up to the player to figure out (see: elements, affinity, statuses, weapon attack multipliers, and so on)
- The community can be very elitist and not fun to communicate with
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: There is a HUGE amount of luck involved with monster drops and later on in the game, decoration drops; this leads to a ton of frustration when the player feels that they are luck gated from obtaining weapons or gear
- This game can be very, very, grindy

A multiplayer take on a singleplayer game, Don't Starve. Instead of fighting hunger, darkness, and the creatures of your own nightmares as you did in the original game, you will be taking on a much more threatening force: other players.

Info:
- 2.5D survival exploration game
- Multiple characters to play, with each promoting a different playstyle
- Dedicated servers are hosted by the developers, but community servers tend to be more popular
- There is a STEEP learning curve for new players

Pros:
- Art style is unique
- Characters have a fleshed out personality
- A massive amount of content in the game
- Players are free to find different ways to expereince the game
- Good balance between casual players and serious players e.g. there is no need to explore the more difficult areas such as the caves, but there is a great reward for those who do
- Collectable item drops
- Developers are still working on the game and add events, such as The Forge
- Playing with other players and friends is entertaining

Cons:
- The community can be quite toxic
- Griefers run rampant
- Because of these reasons it may be better to have private servers with friends

Short but sweet 3D platformer relesed in October of 2017 where the main character uses their hat abilities to obtain fuel for their ship. In the process, they will travel to different worlds and meet many unique inhabitants.

Info:
- Reminecent of other 3D platformers such as Mario 64 or banjo-Kazooie
- Contains 4 worlds, each with a set of challenges, similar to how each world in Mario 64 has different stars
- There are some collectables to obtain to 100% the game
- Graphics resemble the style of Wind Waker

Pros:
- Graphics are colorful and appealing
- Platforming is solid and well designed for the most part
- Controls are responsive
- Fully voice acted, which adds more to the already memorable cast of characters
- Music is incredible
- Boss fights do feel like boss fights and aren't over in a couple minutes
- Modding support adds much to do after the main game is over
- The developers have stated there will be addition content added, such as multiplayer co-op

Cons:
- Not as polished as other 3D platformers, there are some bugs which will require the level to be restarted e.g. clipping between two objects and becoming stuck
- Demanding, and requires a strong computer to fully experience the game without lag
