It's that time again. Our thoughts turn to Spring, maybe? (Unless you live in an area that just got snow again, for some reason.) And thus begins the search for low price video games. Luckily, we've got both the Steam Spring Sale and PlayStation's Mega March Sale to peruse this week, so if you're searching for something like that (and with a wishlist a mile long, who isn't?) then we've got a few picks you might want to pick up.
We asked the Culture Combine crew what they'd like to put in their cart for this sale AND the Steam Spring Sale and here's what they said:
Marielle:
I like to use my funds (if I've got any) towards AAA games I didn't have a chance to pick up the first time around for these sales, and there were quite a few things I missed lately that I want to pick up. Here they are:
Sniper Elite 5:
To start it off, Sniper Elite 5. I've played most of the series and I love nothing more than a well-considered headshot. I've even grown to appreciate the incredibly gratuitous headshot x-ray cam. Sort of.

Warhammer: Vermintide II: Ultimate Edition
I'm gonna preface this by saying that I'm absolutely head over heels for Dark Tide. It's a fantastic, satisfying game that I think more people should play with friends. That said, the mega sale on Dark Tide's not quite as great as this one, and Fat Shark's Vermintide series was my first love as far as Warhammer video games go. Warhammer: Vermintide II is full of fun game modes (Long live Chaos Wastes!), silly hats and seasonal events, and you can't beat the visceral melee and all those sneak-rats.

Actual Price: $13.74
Overcooked 1 and 2 Bundle:
I might be an introvert but that doesn't mean I never have friends over. And if I have friends over, I'm gonna need a great party game. Overcooked has been imitated with varying degrees of success and with a lot of little spins, but the OG games are, in my opinion, a must-have for anyone who likes a little chaos with friends or partners.

Actual Price: $8.74 (PS4)
Fallout 4:
Fallout is a whole vibe. I fell in love with it late in the series, with Fallout 76 being my very first introduction to, well, country roads and all that. Now, maybe it's the amazing TV series that has me thinking of Appalachia, or maybe it's that one of our own is currently out in the Blue Ridge Mountains right now hiking the Appalachian Trail, but I've got a hankering to crawl out through the fallout, baby. And...well, I think it's time to explore Fallout 4.

Alex:
God of War: Ragnarok
God of War: Ragnarok may have won some awards, but that doesn't mean it always gets all the appreciation it deserves. 2018's God of War represented a tonal shift for the long running series, but one that's turned out to have a lot of fans, including us. And it's worth getting for the PS5 and revisiting, too.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth
As we've established, you don't have to start a series from game one to enjoy it. Whether you're a Like A Dragon liker from days of yore or you're new to the series, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth takes you to a brand new locale for the series: Hawaii. Couple that with an improved combat system and the return of some familiar favorite embedded mini-games and this is one worth dropping into your cart.

Actual Price: $34.99
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered PS4 and PS5
Do you like ghost vampires? Do you also like remastered games from the 90s? Might be a great time to pick up Crystal Dynamics' brand new old games from the Legacy of Kain series, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1& 2 Remastered. It's always a great time for a throwback.
Percent Off: 25%
Actual Price: $22.49
