It helps if you specify the game you're on about.

Most games that have a console require you to enable it under the settings first. This might vary from game to game...

Most Valve titles:

1.Launch Steam and start the Valve game for which you wish to use the console.
2.From the main menu select Options
3.Select the Keyboard tab
4.Click the Advanced button
5.Check the box next to Enable developer console (~)
6.Click Apply

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive:

1.Launch Steam and start Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
2.From the main menu select Help & Options
3.Select the Game Settings menu item
4.Click the arrow next to Enable Developer Console (~) so that it says Yes
5.Click Back

And so on...

Once the developer's console option is enabled then you will be able to use the ~ key to open the developer's console and type in commands to change game settings.

If that fails to work another option is to add the -console command under your steam application startup options. This should popup the console on application launch if available.

Close the game if open.

Right click it from the Steam Library > Properties > General > Set Launch Options > type in at the end of that "-console" (without the quotes) > Click Ok.
