Abzu Is Just $1.99 On The Switch eShop, That's 90% Off

I'll absolutely take the plunge at this price. Always caught my eye, but the asking price was always more than I was interested in paying.

Definitely better than $20, it's not a game you'll be replaying any time soon. But it's fun while it lasts

I think it's the only Switch game that's crashed for me, but the at that price it's forgivable.

Just bought! I have been eyeballing this game for some time.

WOW, that's an absolute STEAL! 🤯
Get this now

But the physical version still on PS4, so...

It's a great game from what I've heard, and I just had enough coins to get it for free. Perfect timing. Thank you!

Have it on Xbox....so probably not...

Picked this up with my gold points. Seems interesting. Game did crash when quiting to the main menu though. Hoping it's not a common problem

If you're at all into Marine life, I highly recommend this.

The attention to detail put into the animals' movements and behaviours is more than you'd expect from a title such as this. The Orcas and whales featured in this game really make me feel things.

Playing through the title as I'm typing this

Nice. Tomorrow is payday. Cleaned out my gold coins a few weeks ago.

Hmm...I do like cheap games, especially when they're decent....

I remember playing the game when it was free on PS4 with PS Plus years ago and... well, I didn't get far into the game. While the art style was very pleasing, the controls didn't click with me. Which is kind of odd considering I enjoyed the first Endless Ocean game on Wii.

So long story short, I feel like I didn't give the game a chance. I told myself to stop blowing my gold coins on games on sale that weren't on my radar, but... ugh. I might have to cave this time since I've long let my PS Plus subscription lapse — and my curiosity is getting the best of me right now.

Had my eye on this for a while but I heard it was short so I didn't want to drop $20 on it. $2 I can do, and just did!

for that price I'm going to give it a go

purchased, thanks for the information NL!

There's always games 90% or more off in the eShop. Just have to look around, and you'll see them.

T'was free on epic recently, but then again, might cave in and get it for switch too!

Holy dang my hand just moved by itself to the purchase button!

After watching the trailer, it sure is pretty... but what do you actually do in this game? Just swim around?

I've been wanting to get this game forever, but it's only 89% off in the Japanese eShop so I'm boycotting it out of spite because I refuse to pay that extra 0.2 Yen.

So using my gold coins for me is 11p, don't normally do digital but it looks beautiful I just have to cave this time

I bought it last year when it was like £7 or something but didn't actually play it until last week. It was nice. But I played it in one and the exploration elements were a little boring. The set pieces the game takes you through though were wonderful. I'd say it was absolutely worth it at 90% off!

I knew waiting long enough would pay off.

This has been in my wishlist for ever, so now's the time to get it!

I think I'm into treble figures on my homescreen now. Its become an addiction!!

Proof that buying from the eShop at full-price is just a waste of money

I had a few bucks in my account, so I snatched this up immediately last night. I was interested in this game previously, but only if it was on a good sale. It never seemed to go past 30% on sale so I never took the plunge. Seeing it at 90% was a total no-brainer though.

Good quality indie. Good game.

Had it on PS4 previously then doubled dipped after another previous sale on the Switch release. The previous sale price wasn't 90% off though!

I played this for about 20 minutes on Xbox and found it rather boring. Was I missing something?

@Lionyone reasonable expectations.

This is probably one of my favourite Switch experiences due to the serenity. Then again, I watch Orcas swimming on YouTube for my personal enjoyment so this was right up my alley

It's a very pretty game with some cool scenes. Not on the level of Journey, but worth a play at that price.

The swimming controls are a bit meh, and it would be nice if games like this Included some puzzles.

@Moon I played this on PS3 (or PS4 I forget) w/ PS+ one afternoon. There is actually a story/plot involving some weird sci-fi fantasy stuff. You mostly swim linearly forward toward some end goal and there are puzzles along the way I think where you swim past certain objects or in a certain direction or some such to open the passage to the next section. So it's sort of like a dumb downed mini version of Ecco the Dolphin if you're familiar w/ those games.

I'd pay $2 for it, it's 2 hours long, really pretty, nice ambiance, and just enough to do to make you want to go forward until you finish it in 1 sitting. Personally I like it way better than Journey, which I'm about 3 hours into but keep forgetting to go back to b/c I don't care.

I'll be honest, I never understood this game. I got it on PS+ and just got bored.

Picked this up yesterday. I had £0.69 of gold points, so it only cost me 80p!

Thank you for the information.
In my switch !
Hope we will do many many sales (more than 10 times their actual sales)

Meditated an hour. It a really nice experience. It gave me a bit of Ecco vibes. Great music!

@Coach_A Nice!!

Definitely an insta-buy!

Always wanted this but for some reason I never got it on any format. This is the cheapest I've seen it for, so it's time to buy.

Played through once on PC some time ago, but for this obscene price will be happy to play through on a big TV too - I recall some of the puzzles being slightly annoying but some of the big set pieces and creature encounters were wonderful.

I love underwater adventure title so I bought this last year on the eShop for free when it went on sale. I'm glad they're putting it back on sale again so more players could experience this wonderful underwater diving adventure.

Saw it this morning and instantly picked it up.

@Lionyone from one huge Queen fan to another I agree it’s a bit slow - it is exploration based but I haven’t played it for years. So I just grabbed it for $2 and will give it another shot.

@joey302 You've gotta get Let's Sing Queen on Switch with a mic. It will blow your mind and make you smile so much!!

@Lionyone the $40 price tag has put me off lol. So as much as Queen is my all time favorite band I put it on my wish list for now and will wait on a sale down the road. 😊👍

I just checked and it’s $20. It’s supposed to be $2 up to today?

I've only just discovered this game today and now I see i missed this
