Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Aug 17 → 1.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
From the visionary artist behind ABZÛ, The Pathless, and Journey – Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing adventure with highspeed Hoversword movement inspired by skateboarding and snowboarding.
Carve your way forward on the ancient and powerful Hoversword, which moves like a snowboard, skateboard, and surfboard all in one. Build momentum to reach top speed and catch big air off the crests of giant waves. Pull off radical flips, spins, and grab tricks with ease as you shred halfpipes, ramps, and wall rides. It’s the perfect balance of exhilarating action and fluid, meditative movement.
Explore a world where the land flows in constant waves. From massive tides to the smallest ripples, the shifting sea of dunes is incredibly detailed and beautifully rendered. Surf across sandy deserts, glacial mountains, and many more undulating environments full of secrets in this incredible adventure.
You are the Wraith – resurrected in the desolate Necropolis on a quest to unveil the ancient sea buried beneath the land. Discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in sinking tombs and skatepark-like ruins as you search for purpose. Transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters and witness magical sealife return in huge, breathtaking shoals. Feel the spiritual magic of surfing as you connect with nature and restore life – but beware, there is also darkness lurking under the waves.
Developed by the renowned indie team Giant Squid, Sword of the Sea features the unique artistic design of creative director Matt Nava and beautiful music composed by Grammy winning Austin Wintory. Long time creative partners, their works together include beloved indie games ABZÛ, The Pathless, and the legendary, award-winning game Journey.

Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

A gorgeous, relaxing blend of Journey and Jet Set Radio. I love games that don't rely on a combat loop to keep players interested. It also has some of the best use of the Dual Sense I've experienced, so be sure to plug yours in if you have one (afaik Dual Sense features don't all work over bluetooth).
Wow! Que jogão! Uma obra de arte definitiva, não só visualmente, mas na música, na narrativa, cenas... NOSSA! Não esperava menos de um jogo que misturaria Journey, Abzu, The Pathless e Tony Hawk! Compre se você gosta de jogos contemplativos, belos e do balacobaco!

the art style and animation are AMAZING and the soundtrack is gorgeous. i love the way giant squid is able to tell an interesting story with no spoken dialogue. the only problem i had was it's a little glitchy at times but its pretty high graphic for my computer so it probably just depends on your device.

Giant Squid continued what they do well with this one. They built some of the most gorgeous environments in gaming and let you explore through them with smooth and satisfying movement. It's perhaps longer than it needs to be, compared to Abzu, and doesn't have quite as interesting mechanics to learn as The Pathless, but Sword of the Sea still delivers a worthwhile journey to take.
Relajante.
A very pretty, very short game.
Very beautyful game. Smooth movements and nice level design, with a mix sand with water surfaces.
Дуже гарна та чарівна гра із затиною атмосферо. Неймовірний візуал поєдується із дуже приємною механикою мандрівництва на мечі-скейті та шикарним аудіорядом. Хоча й шкода, що оптимізація хромає, як для свого візуалу, вібрація для контролера DualSense взагалі відсутня, а світ з персонажами ніяк не чіпляю впродовж сюжету. Рекомендую, як атмосферну пригоду на пару годин
看似御剑飞行,实际只能贴地飞,空中最多蹦两下 本来开篇一直飞速度快节奏挺流畅的 一到解谜节奏就被拉下来了 不如风之旅人统一
