This game is pure art. The best game I've ever played.
It's glitchy, has performance issues, and the gameplay is simplistic, but none of that matters due to how well this game conveys emotions and communicates its theme. It's a genuine experience to play through. If you have a powerful enough computer to beat the worst of the performance bugs and a controller (would not recommend on mouse) it's a must-play, simple as.
little buggy in some spots, but damn if this isn't a piece of art. i can't believe I slept on this for so many years just because I thought no combat = boring. Also discovering I could customize the bike was lit.
Enchanting. Never played a game with the same sense of genuine exploration and mystery
For the explorer at heart. It's like Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn, with a beautiful minimalist look and vast landscapes with a deep ambient soundtrack. Visions of the desert. It is a bit confusing if you don't religiously press Q as you navigate, it brings up your objectives and a compass. The map in the subscreens is hard to use by itself. Once you do that, it's easy to navigate and offers thrills and surprises, as well as great narrative.
A really enjoyable casual exploration game. The story is cute and non linear. A bunch of QoL things, like most quick travel waypoints being at the top of moutains/buildings so you don't need to climb everytime and only needing 100 of the 165 Chum eggs for the achievement.
Cute but very rough around the edges. Optimisation is very bleh, there are pacing problems, puzzle quality and difficulty spread is very questionable, in a few cases borderline unsolvable without a guide. More than anything this game lacks polish. It feels like devs lost control of the scope and had very little time to playtest/fine-tune anything.
And yet, I can't in good conscience say that I didn't like it. It was pretty and fun, it has that indie feel to it that makes you forgive and forget all of its flaws.
Breath of the Wild without combat and a gorgeous art style, few games can come close to the ‘vibe’ of gliding through the dunes passing derelict space shapes.
Takes a bit to set up, but once you get started the bulk of this 10-16 hour game are great. Near the end though it can run a bit thin if you are trying to complete everything, and that it’s an indie game is very clear. Some wonky physics and rendering at times, but nothing too distracting.
Do you know how nice this game is? i have officially played 69 hours of it. this is hands down one of my favorite games in existence and i want to recreate some of the outfits. i got to explore every nook and cranny and climb everything, the character dialogues made me cry, sometimes i would just watch the lighting of the landscapes change... it's as much of an adventure as hollownight without any combat whatsoever and in some ways that is the best part.
I had a great time playing this one and I totally recommend it for anyone looking for a chill indie game that ends whenever you decide you are satisfied.
With the style of gameplay of Breath of the Wild but without combat or risks when exploring, I think they managed a great open world experience with an indie team, mainly by having clear landmarks for where to explore, leaving the empty-of-content areas of the map there to be traversed with a hoverbike.
I liked the setting and the mission, the narration and writing were extremely good. It was so fun to get immersed into the introspective parts for the character, specially at the end when I made the last choice after a lot of thought.
The style is really unique and fits well with the mystery of the world. And I loved the moments of discovering the lore, making it a little more clear of what this universe was about, but still leaving lots of things to the imagination.
I went for 100% and I think that for this kind of collectables, it was pretty clever where they hid them, I kept finding things in each session up until I had a couple left and those took more work. There are guides on the internet but I appreciate more knowing how many things to find I have in each part of the map, so I don't go searching in already done places. The game doesn't have that but I found it on reddit so that was nice.
As for the negative, upgrading the hoverbike came to a halt after I was two thirds in, so some of the better missions at the end gave me a part of the bike as a reward that wasn't useful at all. I think maybe if the best parts weren't so accessible (or if there wasn't a bike that was THE best, and that was more subjective after trying different combinations), it would have been a better experience. Also there are some hiccups when travelling with the hoverbike, but it wasn't so bad for me and the fast travel for the discovered places is super practical to make it less dependent on riding all the time.
So to end with a good note, this game leaves me some unique memories that I will cherish and it makes me super glad to have played it. Thanks devs!
I don't think this game should be this compelling, but I just want to keep playing. It's wholesome and interesting and very adventurous feeling, similar to how I felt when first starting BOTW. I like it, there's enough to do but not so much that it feels needlessly repetitive. Some simple puzzles, just enough collectibles. Would recommend.
The only negative: it's a little un-optimized. A lot of little visual bugs, a couple collision bugs, the shop menus occasionally get glitchy but are fixed if you just save+quit and reload. Nothing game breaking and no deal breakers.
This is probably one of the best game I have played in the past few years and I truely hope we will be getting another game like this one from the dev team one day. In the meantime if you like exploration, adventure games with a very unique graphic style I can only recommend.
Buggy and needs updates to refine, but a rough gem that's worth it it more than is. Vast vistas, enough quests to fill your week, with a guide it's finished even faster, say weekend. Worth a replay weeks/months later, needs more stories/quests to make it even more worthwhile. It's a nice ride folks, get on.
While overall pretty buggy, I found Sable to be a really fun and beautiful game. I loved the coming of age plot and felt a lot of responsibility deciding my mask at the end of the game.
I played this game for 3 hours but probably won't play it anymore. The game has an awesome style and the open world design is really cool. Exploration is rewarded and fun. But the puzzles are boring, the storyline felt forced and was a drag to read (no voice acting). I watched a playthrough on YouTube to see all the cool level design that I will be missing out on exploring first-hand. I just can't be bothered 😅
Has its bugs, but I am having a good time. Chill game, lots of puzzle diversity.
gorgeous game with a powerful message about finding purpose and knowing yourself
the game will slow down over time performance-wise even on a powerful computer, so I would recommend playing on the lowest graphics settings just to mitigate that somewhat. it's still very pretty at the lowest settings. when the performance does get unbearable (such as when you try to fish but it's just not willing to cooperate), simply save, exit to title, and re-enter the game
7 hrs played on Steam Deck, completed main story
TLDR:
Visually stunning exploration game with unique art style and great soundtrack, but held back by technical issues and shallow gameplay. Combat-free, but frustrating hoverbike controls and performance issues make it hard to recommend at full price. Wait for deep discount if interested.
GAMEPLAY:
You play as Sable during "The Gliding" - a rite of passage where you explore vast landscapes collecting masks that determine your future role in society. Core activities include:
- Hoverbike exploration
- Climbing ancient ruins
- Completing quests for NPCs
- Collecting masks and other cosmetic items
CONTENT NOTE:
Combat-free exploration game with no violence - perfect for players seeking peaceful adventures or parents looking for family-friendly experiences.
PROS:
- Stunning cel-shaded art style
- Beautiful soundtrack that enhances exploration
- Genuinely unique coming-of-age narrative concept
- Vast open world with freedom of choice
CONS:
- Hoverbike controls feel floaty and unresponsive
- Significant performance issues (frame drops/stuttering) regardless of settings
- Many fetch quests feel repetitive
- Large portions of the map remain unused by main story
- Core gameplay loop lacks depth despite visual ambition
TECHNICAL:
Tested on Steam Deck (docked/undocked) with various graphics settings. Frame drops persist across configurations, particularly while using the hoverbike. Reports suggest similar issues on high-end PCs.
VALUE:
- Full price ($25): Not recommended
- Current sale ($10): Still difficult to recommend
[*] Sweet spot: $5-7
SIMILAR GAMES:
Fans of Journey, GRIS, or Jusant should note that while Sable aims for similar artistic heights, it doesn't quite reach them in terms of gameplay satisfaction.
⊖ Not Recommended
Best for: Art style enthusiasts willing to overlook technical issues and shallow gameplay for unique visuals and atmosphere.
This game is an excellent example of what happens when you give someone the creative freedom to run wild with ideas, expand upon them, and execute them in a full release. There are plenty of quests to do, places to explore, mysteries to discover. The soundtrack is fantastic as well. This game captures the vibe of several Legend Of Zelda games, and somehow mixes it with Jack and Daxter. It has cell shaded graphics that remind me of Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker with a retro feeling like it came out 20 years ago. This game feels very familiar yet quite strange at the same time. This game grabs the mixed bag of gameplay elements that the best PS2 and Gamecube titles had, and blends them together into a very relaxing and palatable experience that you are free to explore at your own pace.
Pretty game. That's about it for it really. Typical girl plot of finding oneself and having every option available to you to do so so no sense of compromise or danger or anything really. You drive your moebius bike around to random towns, then read the 4 sentence paragraph from whatever random npc you need to talk to about finding yourself and how there's no repercussions. Then you go to platform puzzle area to get your fetch quest items. Your magical floating move has no downsides and is infinite so as long as you can time it right and platform well you can float your butt through all the puzzles with little difficulty. I'll get around to finishing it sooner or later.
I liked the ending of the tutorial area though. They did a good job on that.
Also intentionally low FPS walking felt jaring.
I just bought this game a few hours ago, loaded it up for the first time and played for about 30 minutes. It's beautiful. The storytelling and the writing made me tear up. I normally turn all game music off when I play games as I prefer my own but this soundtrack and sound design is gorgeous too. I have a feeling this'll become my favourite game.
Amazing art, cool concept, nice music very nice dialogues
but so many small glitches from visual glitches to every menu having issues and the audio is lagging. None of it is game breaking but it lessens the experience.
Still I'm glad I found my mask
Beautiful landscape! Some bugs but it's so worth exploring the world.
A solid cozy exploration platforming game that has a unique art style and solid mechanics.
I had my eye on this one for a while. The art style really piqued my interest and hearing it was a cozy, no combat, exploration, and platforming game really sold me. I owned and have sampled some of the devs/publishers other games but this one was the first I saw from them and really enjoyed my time with it. I did kind of rush through the game did not complete everything this time around, but it is one I plan to revisit eventually.
The story in this game is pretty simple. You are part of a tribe and your about to embark on your “gliding” which is when you leave the tribe to go explore the world on a hover bike. There is a ceremony that is performed leading up to it and then you’re off. Your tribe travels elsewhere while you are “gliding” so you won’t encounter them again until you are done. From there you are free to explore this chill desolate world with small villages scattered throughout. Your main goal is collecting masks which represent different jobs in the world. You will have to select one of them you collect at the end of the game. There is a lot to explore with different biomes, villages, and ship wrecks.
Gameplay wise it is simple. You explore and meet different people throughout the world. You collect badges by completing sidequests and tasks which can then be turned into a mask castor to create the mask for that role. There is a lot of platforming and puzzles to solve throughout the world, but it doesn’t feel super forced or out of place. The platforming is pretty satisfying overall. You can customize your characters look and hover bike with items you purchase from different merchants as well.
The game feels very chill. You are out on your own in a mostly desolate world, exploring, and meeting a few people along the way. It is a very cozy with a lot to offer, and will not stress you out. Some of the puzzles and platforming can be a little frustrating, but overall, a very enjoyable experience. The art style also really adds the cozy feel. I believe it’s a form of cell shading, but nothing like I’ve seen before.
I played the game entirely on Steam deck and ran pretty well at medium settings and locked to 40 hz/fps. The framerate would dip semi-regularly into the high 20s and 30s but not enough that it was a problem. Aside from that it ran great. Controls felt really good as well.
If you are into cozy “walking simulator” type games, exploration games, or puzzle/platforming games then this one is for you. With a highly unique art style, solid gameplay, mechanics, and controls, and chill atmosphere; it is a great palette cleanser from heavier games and one I highly recommend.
It's a relaxing, open-world exploration game, but I got simultaneously overwhelmed and bored. Overwhelmed because I felt like there was so much to explore, and I constantly felt like I was missing things. Bored because the writing and story weren't really grabbing me. I did enjoy the world-building, but every time I talked to someone about it, I felt like the dialogue was just uninteresting (and many of the dialogue trees felt buggy).
It was just one of those games that I don't hate but I realized I wasn't enjoying anymore.
When I first started this game, I was having fun with it, I loved the idea of just having the freedom to explore the world as part of a coming of age rite the protagonist embarks upon. However, I found myself getting bored quickly with what there was to do.
I liked some quests here and there, and don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful game, I love the visuals, environment and music but there are a significant number of bugs that make it less pleasing to the eye like the frame rate for instance.
I try to tolerate these things but I eventually run out of patience. It also is disappointing that there isn't much story. I love games where I can explore, but I just feel like this was lacking more as I kept playing to a point where I wasn't enjoying myself anymore.
I am enjoying this game. Fun open world. Good puzzles. Neat graphics - Moebius feel to it. I could be cruising around the Airtight Garage...
"Sable" means "Sand" in french.
You are Playing Sable in a sand desert.
This game is not french.
Neither is the sand in the game.
Relaxing and calm. Nice to just turn off your brain and explore. Has some minor things, the bike acts odd sometimes, but nothing causes any issues outside of silliness. The art style is nice. The changing of hues and the staggered animations make it feel very unique. I enjoy it. Also nice music. A very chill vibe.
sometimes i think about how oftentimes, my rule for defining a "good game" is a game in which i actively want to do all of the sidequests. and sable is pretty much the perfect example of that. it's a game where you choose your own objectives, where you're encouraged to explore, to help people without promise of getting things in return, to delve into every corner of the map. that's just so cool! this is, in my opinion, the perfect example of what an open world game should be.
which is not even to mention the artistry of the world itself! of course the visual style is very cool, but i found myself pretty invested in the story and worldbuilding as well. it's a neat and unique approach to a scifi setting, and i appreciated how rich a society it creates - and it's cool to see worldbuilding that is inspired primarily by nonwestern cultures! it's also really neat how much the coming-of-age theme influences the gameplay. just a really good marriage of gameplay & story, with a protagonist who has a lot of personality.
my glowing recommendation does come with a caveat: performance-wise, this game is pretty rough around the edges. if you're willing to accept occasional camera/geometry mishaps (nothing game-ruining imo), frame drops, and a few bugs that will resolve themselves upon saving & reloading, definitely stick with it. just be sure to turn on vsync (look up how to do this - settings menu doesn't make it that clear) and don't get your hopes up about completing the fishing sidequest (the one part of the game that i found unfixably bugged. sad!!!)
Fabulous and gorgeous game. Zen peaceful exploration stunningly addicting and full of beautiful writing and music.
Moebius inspired in the quality of he line. very well executed. Congrats to the team!
Thank you for such a memorable pleasure.
This game has so many flaws, and most of them are technical; despite this, it's still a decent game and worth your time and money if a sale crops up... at least if an exploration based experience is what you're after. I can't give a good review though because of the very numerous technical issues that have been documented for years at this point and refuse to be worked on by the devs.
Almost all the issues other reviewers complained about I noticed as well. They're extremely common, and it's kinda crazy how the devs think that the game is in a fine state as is. What's especially bad are they keyboard controls, audio hiccups, and the lack of optimization. Now, I'm not running a top of the line gaming rig, but I have a fairly good processor and a 1080. This game should run flawlessly at 2k at 80 fps... it doesn't. I know developers like to pick up an engine and just make a game, and I feel like this lack of optimization is indicative of that. The devs never bothered to understand what they were building with, they just made an art piece, dropped it on the world and abandoned ship. Other things are indicative of that too, the audio of the bike constantly stuttering, the climbing clearly being underbaked, with ledges that make no sense. The constantly bugged out menus (on KB&M, haven't tried with a controller yet), and the bike sometimes not responding to whistles for the rest of the session. Things like this should've been ironed out a month or two after release, yet it's been multiple years and these bugs are still obviously present. The optimization is a little harder, and I get that--not everyone can/wants to do that sorta work--but everything else is just so darn simple to fix.
If the easy fixes are ever resolved, I will swap my review. Currently though, it has to be negative, because the devs obviously don't care.
Additional bugs:
-Nimoor plants, like everything to do with them
-Slicer beetles were bugged (hah) when I first visited them and refused to move, obviously you can imagine that resulted in a lot of confusion
-I can't help but feel like the mask caster cutscene is bugged
-riding your bike can sometimes result in the entire world dissapearing along with Sable, with the only fix being getting off the bike
-performance seems to slowly get worse as you visit more places in a session. This game may keep things in memory long after they've stopped being needed.
A really beautiful and well crafted game. The bike and climbing controls feel smooth and fun which made me want to explore every inch of the map. I just had a great time 🥰
visually spectacular open world RPG that feels like a mix between BOTW and a Moebius comic. extremely unique art direction with cool shader effects that give the impression that every frame was hand-drawn in ink. the world is laid out in a well-balanced way that rewards exploration and gives many opportunities to slow down and take in your surroundings.
the writing is low-key and contemplative, which fits the vibe the visuals are going for, though i did find it a bit overwrought sometimes. overall this is a great achievement that really stands out compared to other games. big props to shedworks for shipping such a strong release!
TL;DR If you have free time and don't know what to play AND you want a chill exploration game, go for it. Beware of the bugs though.
Honestly, it breaks my heart that I can't recommend this game. It's been sitting on my wishlist for so long, I thought I'd fall in love with this game. I did try to love this game, but somehow I felt like it falls short. The premise is very promising, the colors are beautiful, yet it's not enough.
I expected to be hit by an emotional and/or philosophical story, or lore, or at least few moments, or whatever else. Throughout my playtime, I've felt nothing of sorts. The sense of exploration kept me going for a while but after around 5-6 hours, I've started to notice the patterns and it quickly lost its magic. Then, the mystery of the spaceships/first humans kept me going to nearly the end of the game. But it was not the focus, just a side quest. And its conclusion also didn't have any big moments. Just, "here, it went like this."
I want to say the game was made with love. But no, it was designed with love. The amount of bugs and the way how unpolished the game is show that it was kinda rushed or something. And it always felt like there should've been so much more things going. It could've been bigger, not in quantity but quality or density shall I say.
The world and tribes are small, but supposedly everyone travels extensively at least once in their life yet we don't see the connections it should've give rise to. Sure, a few times someone mentions someone but that's it. Nothing else.
There is some sort of caste system(with extra steps) in the world, but it's missing some very crucial classes. Like: herder, farmer, researcher(even though we kinda see the rise of the first one, it would be fitting if we could've gotten a mask for completing the vivarium.), hunter(I assume there are animals, as there are some goats here and there). The very basic classes, and one that we got hinted at. Also, why not an explorer class? I really wanted to choose a mask like that but there wasn't any like it. There's even a climber one, how is it useful in a society without much more basic classes? That really annoyed me.
There was an investigation mission, which I liked a lot, as it brought a fresh air to the pace. And they seemingly intentionally left its result open to interpretation which I liked a lot honestly. Felt realistic. You don't always have all the answers.
That first 5-6 hours when exploration felt exciting was really good. The problem is, every area plays out pretty much the same. Find the map, mark the points of interest on the map, go to the markers. Those locations are even the same for all the areas: 1 city/village like settlement, 1 cartographer, 2 ships with one having a log and the other the key, 1 artifact key building and 1 or 2 landmarks. These landmarks are the only different locations across the world but essentially, they don't feel different. As a game about wandering, there should've been much more variety, much more random encounters, much more sense of wonder.
My biggest issue though, were the bugs. Interaction button vanishes so you don't notice something is interactable, walls or buildings disappear, sable disappear while on the bike, you can't hold onto the wall to climb while you should've therefore you fall, fps drops, constant staggering... the list goes on. Small things, to be honest, on their own and I wouldn't mind if they occured here and there. But it's constant. I've never finished a session without at least a handful of these. Especially if you play for longer than 1.5-2 hours, you're basically forced to save and load the game so bugs are a bit contained. Definitely some optimization problems there.
I thought I would say I enjoyed the game but now that I think about it, I'm not sure. I didn't hate it, it's just that I will probably not remember much from the game. I'll say it was okay. Really breaks my heart, I had very high hopes.
It was a lovely experience.
I had fun exploring the different biomes and finding the things to see.
I enjoyed the quiet feeling I had while playing, just the sound of the hoover bike and the dessert.
Was sad to see it end, I guess I also wish the gliding could last forever.
Don't really know whether to recommend this one or not to be honest. On one hand, it's certainly a cozy game, i didn't find it that unpleasant and i think it would be good for someone who maybe isn't that into games, but on the other hand it's a mostly empty world, puzzles are offensively easy, and the amount of bugs present is honestly ridiculous. Check it out if it seems like your thing because it certainly isn't bad but it's not anything that memorable either.
A few years back, I briefly found myself as a young man living a big city in the middle of the desert, staying in a crumbling house and getting around on a cheap motorized bike that could sometimes keep up with traffic. It was a stressful, troubling period in my life, and yet a deeply liberating one: With little in the way of responsibilities, every day was a chance to see something different, to meet someone new; to see the world and find who I was in it.
The biggest compliment I could give Sable as a game is that it not only captures the freedom that I felt back then, but also the longing for something more. With simple mechanics and a gorgeous visual styling, it so effectively manages to encapsulate the energy of youth as well as it pitfalls, the sense that the world is beautiful and big and open for you, and yet that you're only a small part of something bigger; that there's a place out there for you, waiting for you to find it.
Movement is at the core of Sable. Over the course of your playthrough, you'll spend the bulk of your time walking, running, climbing, sliding and hoverbiking your way through a rich, varied landscape, from vast desert dunes to dense cities to the derelict ruins of an ancient civilization. While this movement can feel a bit awkward and clumsy at times, in a way that perhaps reveals a lack of experience or overabundance of ambition from the devs, learning its inner workings and figuring out how to best make it work for you is a deeply involving and satisfying process. I can't remember the last time I plainly refused to fast-travel anywhere in game, simply because the process of getting from place to place is so much fun.
The story is loose and only tangentially present, which allows you to sort of look past it and engage with it in your own terms. Personally, I chose to talk to as many people and engage on as many quests as possible, and I've greatly enjoyed the experience. The writing, to me, felt charming, personable and at times, profoundly heart-warming, in the way only stories about people can. Special mention has to go to the music and soundscape, which were captivating enough that I never wanted to play my own tracks over the top of them, which is a rarity for me.
Of course, it's not without problems. As other reviews point out, the game has some technical issues that can really take you out of the experience: Strange bouts of stuttering, odd visual glitches and some weird stuff going on with the climbing mechanics and low ledges. These are annoying, but in my opinion they're minor blemishes on what's overall an amazing experience.
I would strongly recommend Sable to just about everyone that wants a fun, yet stress-free game about exploration and freedom.
This game has an amazing atmosphere, music and exploration. But you know what sucks? THE BUGS, WAY TO MANY OF THEM.
Where do I start?
1. The climbing is awkward.
2. Your hover bike doesn't show up when you call for it. (it happen when I upgraded my hover bike)
3. The item images from the seller can glitch out and you might think he is not selling anything.
4. Quests can bug out and you might need to restart your game (Ex: Collect the dung from the big beetles)
5. Riding your hover bike will drop FPS BADLY and stutter (And NO , it's not my pc) . People are complaining on Reddit about this 3 years ago and they still haven't fixed the issue.
6. Background music will lag out
7. And the biggest bug I have ever experienced in this game was: my hover bike, it wouldn't accelerate after 12 hrs. of gameplay and somehow it fixed itself and I could go fast.
If it weren't for the bugs/glitches, I would have given this game a 10/10, but now it's a 5/10.
Excellent game. Great implied story that leaves enough room for imagination and theories. The Moebius-esque art style is awesome.
I experienced a single bug (the Hide and Seek quest), but other than that, it s a perfect little game.
Very chill and atmospheric adventure through a world straight out of a Moebius illustration, scored beautifully by Japanese Breakfast. There are narrative elements, but they are much more stories about the world around you, allowing you to decide your own story. There are some puzzles and other challenges scattered throughout - they're not hard, but they're not meant to be. They're just little things to do that'll shape your journey and make the things you discover feel a little more rewarding. I did encounter occasional moments of clunkiness, especially with player movement, but they didn't detract from the experience at all. Highly recommended.
The best way I can describe my experience playing this game is this: I love the way I feel when I play this game. There is a welcoming serenity to the world that makes me feel happy to be there. I feel like I am in no rush to explore, no rush to discover who Sable will choose to be. I usually stop playing Sable with a feeling of calm and satisfaction. The game just has very good vibes. Would definitely recommend!
Small budget Breathe of the Wild without the combat. You drive a clunky speeder across beautiful vistas and do some mild puzzle solving, while experiencing a coming of age story at your own pace. Meet funny characters. Explore dungeons. Go fishing. Collect items.
Lovely game, relaxing and beautifully designed. Music is tranquil and perfect for the setting. It's beautiful. I'm not even half way through yet with no fighting or killing. There is adventure and travel and quests so plenty to keep your interest.
very peaceful and beautiful, i had a lot of fun exploring this world!
I had a lot of graphical bugs while playing, but otherwise it was great and I highly recommend
Sable is a deeply impactful coming-of-age journey set on a desolate yet beautiful desert planet. It has a wonderful cell-shaded visual style and haunting melancholic soundtrack that perfectly complements the sparse, quiet landscape the developers designed. Aesthetically, everything about this experience is cohesive and comfortable. It may not fit the traditional label of "cozy game", but honestly I found it to be just as welcoming and warm as some of the warmest experiences that genre has to offer. Gliding across the desert on Sable's hoverbike and watching the shadows move across the landscape was almost meditative.
Gameplay wise, Sable places a heavy focus on exploration with some light puzzle solving in certain areas (mostly the shipwrecks scattered across the planet). There is no combat, which was certainly a good choice on the developers part, as it would not have fit with the game's more somber themes. When not exploring or puzzling, much of Sable's runtime is spent speaking with the many characters scattered across the different regions of the desert, all of whom have smartly written dialogue and serve to soften the lonely atmosphere of Sable's world. I never found myself wanting to skip any of the character interactions. Often, these conversations are where the game's sidequests are taken on. "Sidquests" may not be the right term, though, as there really isn't any one primary quest in this game. The entire point is just to explore, learn about your world, help people whenever you can, and discover yourself and your purpose through doing those experiences.
At the end of the game, you must decide which of the several roles in society fits you the best by returning home and choosing one of the masks you've earned through your hard work, skill, and assistance to others. Not many games make me emotional, but walking out of the temple and hearing the melancholy final song after making my choice honestly brought tears to my eyes.
If you are someone who needs a lot of action for a game to hold your attention, it's likely you would get bored pretty early on in Sable, and I would not recommend it to you. For just about anybody else, though, there is so much here to enjoy.
In my opinion, Sable is truly something special. If you decide to play it, do so in a quiet and comfortable setting. Take your time, absorb this experience, and lose (or find?) yourself in its world. It's worth it.
I remember buying sable maybe about 6 months after it got released, caught by the visuals, but it remained in my backlog till last week, after playing it I can say I loved really everything about it, the design, the narrative, the music and the vibe of the game itself was amazing. It's really a must play in the exploration oper world genre imo.
unpretentious and relaxing game; finished it prematurely without seeing all the content there is because gameplay side is really simple and doesnt change throughout the game (which bores me) but the stories you engage with are really nice bite-sized with no bs. overall an amazing experience about finiding your way of life and simply enjoying the adventure for the fun of it.
I found this game because of Japanese Breakfast, which I adore so much, and they did a great job on the soundtrack (Badland theme is my favorite, by the way.)
Sable is a beautiful exploration game. The art style is appealing and fresh. The story, the game design and music are all brilliant, and everyone should experience Sable's narrative because of how charming it is.
Sable only offers a vast exploration and some challenging puzzles. There is no combat system. The map I think is big enough for an overworld game with 30–50 hours of gameplay, which is great. This game's potential is hindered by some technical issues and bugs. The one I dislike the most is the camera movement, which is really annoying when traversing some areas or while riding your glider.
Despite the technicalities, Sable is still a great game. As someone who likes to play exploration games, Sable's world is definitely worth visiting.
3/5
Sable is an open-world adventure game in the mold of Breath of the Wild, but there's no combat, and there's no major antagonist or potential world ending threat. Your adventure is a coming of age adventure that every adult in the world went on before you. Your character isn't a chosen hero, destined to save the world. You're just seeing the world for the first time, meeting new people, and learning things to help you ultimately decide what path you want to follow in your adulthood.
The exploration is the main draw here. The OST and artstyle are both good too.
The biggest drawback is that, technically, it feels pretty rough. I never ran into any gamebreaking glitches, but there were a lot of rough looking animations and lighting effects and some weird physics stuff that negatively affected my experience.
The positives greatly outweigh any negatives, though. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who loves exploration in the vein of BotW, but wants a bit of a change of pace from the traditional hero's journey stories of most adventure games.
