It depends, sometimes I go down the rabbit hole on their "Games Like This" suggestions on my favorite games' store pages. I actually just found a cool one that way the other day called Ad Fundum. It was a funny coincidence since it came up suggested on a completely unrelated game, but I'd been wanting a game centered around digging underground.

But yeah, with literally over 100,000+ games on Steam, it's become way too difficult to find quality stuff that isn't AAA or indie games that struck it lucky with popular streamers giving them exposure. Which sucks for indie devs that actually put out their passion projects since it makes discoverability so hard, as others have pointed out here.
