Reinstalling Steam games is pretty easy! Just open your Steam client and go to the 'Library' section. Right-click on the game you want to reinstall and select 'Install'. Steam will then download and install the game for you. If you've got the game files backed up, you can also tell Steam to use those instead of downloading again, saving you time and bandwidth!
Nah, you're all making it sound too complicated. Just hit 'install' on the game you uninstalled. Steam knows what to do. It's like magic, but for games.
Honestly, just uninstall and then reinstall the game you want. Steam makes it super straightforward, no need to worry about losing your saves because Steam Cloud has your back (for most games). I had to reinstall Skyrim last week, and it was a breeze. Plus, it fixed the weird glitch I was experiencing.
