Resetting a game on Steam is pretty straightforward! Right-click the game in your Library, go to 'Properties,' then 'Local Files,' and hit 'Verify integrity of game files.' This can fix many issues without losing your progress. If you want a full reset, just uninstall the game from your library and delete any leftover files in the game's directory on your PC. Then, reinstall it. Voila, fresh start!

Here's what worked for me: Go into the game's settings and look for a 'reset' or 'start new game' option. Some games have this feature built-in, so you won't lose everything if you just want to start over.

Honestly, just deleting and reinstalling seems overkill. Most games auto-save to cloud saves on Steam, so make sure to disable that or delete the saves from the cloud storage if you're looking for a total do-over.
