• Bastion is a top-down hacky-slashy rpg with a fun selection of weapons and pretty art. Earlier work from the game studio that made Transistor.
  
• Cave Story+ is a pixelart platformer+shooter and it's bloody good. Come to think of it, there's a lot of weird parallels with Bastion.
  
• Don't Starve is Tim Burton-styled survival/crafting/resource-gathering. You'll probably starve.
  
• FTL puts you in control of a ragtag crew on a spaceship fleeing from a rebel fleet. You also manage power to the ship's systems and find/buy weaponry, drones, new crew members, and die a dickton of times. You can play and pause the game making it quite strategic when you're locked in combat with an enemy ship.
  
• Mark of the Ninja chugged a bit on my computer; it's a stealth/platformer with loads of sneaking, running up walls, grappling hooks, and other ninja stunts.
  
• Monaco is a top-down co-op game with a cast of misfits, trying to scoop up all the gold through a series of maps. There's a conspiarcy unfolding as you replay maps in story mode through the eyes of a different character.
  
• Risk of Rain (with buggy co-op if you're game) is a platformer/shooter on a hostile alien planet, again with a bunch of different classes with different playstyles. You run around picking up loads of horrific augmentations cool upgrades and eventually turn into a killing machine if you don't die (you'll die).
  
• To The Moon is an RPGmaker game. I cried. It was very sweet and more story than game. If you don't know what you want to spend a lot of time grinding through and want a sad story, bid on this one.

• Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a game where you drive a truck across Europe, shipping stuff. You start off having to use other people's trucks as you get hired as a driver, and then you buy your own truck, and then you buy more trucks and hire people to drive them. But that's not important. What's important here is it is a fantastic game to play when you've got podcasts to listen to. Or if you just want to chill. It's got a selection of European radio stations built into it if you want to hear what the latest pop hits are in Germany/France/wherever
  

• The Swapper is a sidescrolling platforming puzzle game. Not enough of that genre out there, I know, but listen up. It functions on some very simple mechanics, and I think it does some of the best mechanics teaching in any game I've ever played. It gives you the very basic controls on how to play, and then after that doesn't tell you how to do any of the advanced techniques that are required to progress.
  All it does it take you to a point where what you were taught isn't enough.
