Having fun with Beyond Earth and quite a few number of mods. Awaiting for Rising Tide expansion that will do what most of the mods are doing now, only more stable running.
Tempted to buy Off World Trading Company.
Waiting for decent discount on Invisible inc.

Like most Steam sales nowadays, there's pretty much nothing I want that's got enough of a discount to make me buy it (CoH2 Ardennes Assault, for example, is 75% off, and is now around what I'd consider full price for it), or I haven't already got.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Is it just us or are the sales % lower than they used to be? We're seeing a lot of 40-50% discounts.

Incorporating Wet-Blending

I have bought a single game: Crypt of the Necrodancer. Two other games that I was interested in - Hitman: Blood Money and Wolfenstein: The New Order - have had good sales but I didn't actually pull the trigger on them.

I would recommend against Duel of the Planeswalkers 2015. DotP is not a series that becomes incrementally better with every release - it's much more one step forwards, one step back, and the most recent one seems to have changed more for the worse than for the better.

I wish DoW II was on sale for a little bit more, but I'm going to snag it anyway, a friend has it and I finally have a computer good enough to run it smoothly, so I'm taking the bait.

Second. 2015 is a terrible cash-grab with a very limited amount of cards.

I was pretty pumped to see Grim Fandango Remastered was on the list. I didn't get a chance to play it as a kid, and am excited there is a remastered version that I can play now.

It's not the best. but it is decent.

Got Creeper World 3, was a rather fun take on tower defense-- you fight off the old scientific trope of the grey goo.
Was fun, definitely worth the dollar and a half I got.
Got Tropico 5's expansion, Waterbourne, definitely added more life to my Tropico 5 play.
Bought a friend Fallout: New Vegas DLC after she got the game, so she's really hoping she gets a chance to enjoy that.
Homebrew: Vehicle Sandbox is fun, but it's definitely early access and I wish its netcode was better (at least I wish it was as good as Space Engineers').
Prison Architect is strangely addictive, but also a bit unforgiving at times on any difficulty.
Galactic Civilizations 3 was my only big purchase. It's been extremely fun, the campaign definitely feels more nuanced than in 2.

Ark is something I want to get, but only if there's a server with only friends on it, and only when it's in a more stable version. No game where I can lose all the progress I made simply by logging out to play Real Life, and having DudeBro69 the random griefer wander up, kill me in my sleep, stomp all my stuff, and walk off, really appeals to me.

That's why we play on PVE on official servers.
I got a bunch of DLC for various games for 75% off - mostly paradox stuff like EU IV. Also, as a birthday present I received Serpent in the Staglands and Medieval Engineers, which because I've been too busy building stuff on dinosaur infested islands I've barely touched.

I got some extra stuff, I think that's about it for me this year:
Dishonoured GOTY edition (already had the game, but not the DLC and it was cheaper to get the bundle instead of just the DLC)
The Hunter: Primal
Mass Effect 2 - digital deluxe edition (which was cheaper or same price, can't remember, as the regular edition)
L.A. Noire Complete Edition, mainly for the DLC that I never bought when I had it for the 360
Fallout and Fallout 2, to get in the mood for F4 later this year.
