Ohh boy. Since I fell out of love with most AAA titles a long time ago here's an extensive list of smaller titles that would otherwise NEVER catch your eye. I won't go into detail on how or what since that would take forever, just check the steam pages for them.

I'll stop here, I could go on but there must be several titles among these that might (and should) peak your interest. I would love some feedback from all of you on which ones you checked out and liked, they are ALL quality stuff as far as I'm concerned. Good luck!

So this is what the independently wealthy do all day, play games.
More titles on this list than I've played in the last 20 years, and I'm guessing its not your complete list.
Thanks for sharing, time to revise my Steam lists.

Hahaha I wish mate, do know that all these titles are smaller ones, indie if you like. Let me know what peaks your interest, if you like Fallout for instance you might go with the oldschool approach of Underrail.

I've played Darkest Dungeon, Windward, FTL, and This War of Mine.
I was impressed with the last two. I grew up playing The Ancient Art of War at Sea and was somewhat disappointed with Windward (I'm used to having to consider wind direction, formations, cannon angle and load times, boarding parties...). Darkest Dungeon I am getting close to 40 hours in to.
I've seen "let's plays" of Factorio and Rimworld. They look very engaging, but I'm at the stage where I'm already trying to hold off on any further Steam purchases until I get at least 50% of my catalog above the '1 hour per 1$' mark.
Dwarf Fortress is not on Steam, but it's free, and vaguely similar to the last two titles it seems.

I spent 1000s of hours in Civ V. Won't play Civ VI until an expansion fixing the AI is released. I also had fun with the X series of games. X3TC and X3AP were fun to me. Both are Sandbox games where one builds their own empire across a universe.
Though my favorite series of games I found on steam was Hyperdimension Neptunia. Problem is that I beat all of those games into submission.
I just finished a Rockstar game (makers of GTA, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, etc.) called Bully Scholarship Edition. The game has some issues with stability, but it is a really fun game. I actually had more fun with it then with the other games I mentioned that have better graphics and killing. You start in a school of bullies and try to beat them all into submission so that you can stop them from bullying all the other students. There are various different classes you take like art, music, math, photography, geography, biology, etc. that give you bonuses if you pass the course. You can ride bicycles and skateboards. There are different clicks like when I went to high school (Nerd, Rich, Jock, Greaser, Weird, etc.) I related to the game very well and thought it was a great combination of storytelling and immature fun. The music in game is outstanding IMO.
Aside from that I've been playing a new soccer game that came out on Steam recently. It's quite good. I'm also playing a Tennis game called Tennis Elbow and it's difficult, but fairly enjoyable.
out of all the steam games i have tried, i have to say 7 days to die is by far my favorite. didnt expect it to be, but it has really come along way since i first bought it and they are constantly adding new things to the game.
Im really liking this new game called Stash. Its pretty much an MMO and its free to play. I highly recommend taking a look at it if you like the table-top style.

Speaking of the Ageless Realms, you have to watch this video:
The series has reached Star Wars-like proportions.

Aight here is one that popped up from a reviewer i really like , been playing it for a couple days now ...
Amazing game , so many options and ways to approach all those seems like im fucked situations .. Great atmosphere and immersion , seemingly endless replay value ...
I'll add my stamp of approval to Limbo, Inside, and Child of Light, which were suggested by Kano. All great, relatively inexpensive games. Limbo and Inside are great 2D puzzle/platformers with awesome art and powerful, melancholy stories by a dev called Playdead, and Child of Light is a really cool 2D turn-based JRPG with metroidvania style exploration, amazing hand painted art, and great music AND it has a free demo on Steam so you can try it out.
I'll add all 3 games by Supergiant Games: Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre, and there's currently a sale on all 3: 75% off Bastion and Transistor, and 25% off their newest title, Pyre.
There are quite a few hidden gems on steam. Some aren't all that hidden, but I have a few favorites.
If you like adventure games at all, the Deponia series is really really good. They have really obscure puzzles occasionally but the animation and voice acting is pretty fun, and the game itself is nice to play.
I really like the Van Helsing arpgs. All 3 of them were super fun and provided plenty of entertainment for how little they cost. Plus they all had online multiplayer as well. Grim Dawn is also really good for an ARPG as well.
If you are into momentum based speed running type games, SEUM is really cheesy but super fun to try to climb leaderboards. It's like if quake didn't have a gun and had portal like systems with 30 second levels that really allow you to try to abuse the game to go faster and beat leaderboard times.
There are so many games on steam that just don't get enough attention but it's really hard to find them all.
My problem with steam...... Once a game is gone off the top of the list its gone unless you type the exact name. You will not find it by clicking on page after page.
This makes it hard if you found a nice game but forget the name...well, good luck in finding it again.
Let me try and put it another way. Anything older than two months old, it's gone completely unless you type.
Well, unless of course you save them in your "Wish" or "Followed" lists.
Put another way, Steam has tools of convenience, use them.
Lets just say you never knew about Oblivion, this was a popular game. By casually scrolling page after page, it's a good chance you wouldn't come across it.
This is ONLY an example of my point, infact it may be their..... Still so many good/classics are lost, even newer ones that are only a few months old.
That's not true. You can easily search different genres, and even select other tags, although, admittedly they could have an advanced search.
I found Boundel that way. Nice little game. I played for about two weeks. Not bad for .99 cents. I think its actually free now.
Banished, The Guild, Sid Meier's Pirates, Warlock - are some older titles.
A new RPG I am enjoying is Fall of Light.
I wouldn't go into a Steam Indie game expecting Oblivion type game play.

Android market also has a massive JRPG list as well. Turn based rpgs play really well on a tablet.
