I've been living off of humble bundles and steam sales. For me it's been Burnout Paradise, Fez, Binding of Isaac (with Wrath of the Lamb expansion), and Offspring Fling.
The first two are great if you're into exploring and discovering stuff. You wouldn't expect it from a racing game, but Burnout Paradise *does* have a lot of discovery going for it. I love the open-world map. Similarly, I love Midtown Madness (2 is the only one I've played), simply because trying to get on top of the buildings is hilarious. Fez has puzzles, and you get to decypher things written in a weird blocky script, which I like.
The latter two are high-difficulty games, which push your dodging and platforming skills. Just finishing Offspring Fling is doable enough (which isn't to say that there aren't any tricky levels), but the time trials are killing, especially the dev times. Finishing Binding of Isaac for the first time feels like an accomplishment, especially as you've probably died several times already. However, then it only starts. There are tons of unlockables in there, too, and the game really is different every time, which makes for great replay value.
