Steam's 2023 Spring Sale may be coming to an end soon, but there's some time left to take advantage of the discounts it provides to get more than a handful of games you'd probably have to save more money on.
Action-adventure games may be a dime-a-dozen considering the current trends are in single-player games, but these games stand out from the rest.
Here are some of the action-adventure games that you won't regret buying during this year's Steam Spring Sale.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - $11.99 (70% Off)
One of the best action-adventure games of all time, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the culmination of CD Projekt Red's efforts to bring Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher series to life in a video game format. and a love letter to both the fans of the source material and the video game series.
The game is so good that the game was widely considered the game that defined the 2010s as its success made it the envy of many a video game developer, such as Ubisoft and its attempt to emulate The Witcher 3's success with Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
If The Witcher 3's accolades aren't convincing you to play the game, then buy and play it for yourself to see for yourself. You won't regret it.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - $19.79 (67% Off)
Red Dead Redemption 2 may have been released in the late 2010s, but it's still being talked about in the early 2020s for a good reason: its gameplay, story, and characters are immersive and engaging that there will be times you don't want the game to end for fear of what is fated to happen to the characters you will get attached to by the game's epilogue.

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the masterpieces Sony released for the PlayStation 4 in 2017, and it shows. Graphically, it's one of the most beautiful of its time, while its setting of a post-apocalyptic America a thousand years into the future is surreal to process.

In her quest to do so, she will encounter the dark history that made the world into what it is in her time and the sacrifices made to ensure humanity lives on despite the machine plague it unleashed.
We weren't kidding about the surreal experience the game provides. It has machine-like animals in a world where humanity regressed to living in huts, wooden houses, and among tribes similar to those living in the Stone Age.
