I got a few things on Steam recently.

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round - $20, on sale. This game was on sale recently, and after some thought I ended up getting it even though I already have it for X360. This version has some limitations, but it has three things the 360 version doesn't: more people playing it online (few have played the 360 one for some time now), better graphics, and the most recent two DLC characters, who aren't available on the PS3/360 version of the game. And I do like DOA's fighting engine, so I ended up deciding to get it. Even with a 560 the game runs very well at my monitor's full resolution (1920x1200) and the High settings, which is great.
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD - $15, on sale - This is a 64-bit-OS-only game I've wanted to play, and it's half off now so I got it.
Additionally, and more importantly, there is a bundle right now on Humble Bundle called the Humble Freedom Bundle. It's a charity-only bundle to benefit the ACLU and several other good causes, so it's pretty much an anti-Trump bundle and that's great... but just as great are the list of games! For $30, and you have to pay $30 to get the games and there are not multiple tiers, you get a long list of games, headlined with some of the better indie games of the past few years such as The Witness, Invisible Inc, Nuclear Throne, and Stardew Valley. The Witness is a game I've definitely wanted to play so that's the big one here (and its lowest sale price is $20 on its own, so far!), but Nuclear Throne also is something I'm interested in, and I am sure that some of the many other games will be good too.
In addition to games, the bundle also includes a few music albums and e-books. I'm not sure if I care about any of them, but it's mostly games. I do have some of these games already, but more than enough are things I don't have to easily make this very worth it. (Oh, one game, Subnautica, was in the bundle but they have run out of keys so it's unavailable now. I removed it from the list below, but people who bought early did get it.)
