SANABI Reviews

Was on the fence about this up until chapter 3 where really, I'm finishing because I'm interested in the story aspect but the gameplay just isn't great, its very repetitive and really feels like it drags on without any clear progression on how much longer it is. While this might be a negative for others the long little story moments are the only solace I find after a long slog of awkward traversal. The controls (at least with a controller) are unreliable at times and the level design isn't very clear most of the time, often making me as a Player like I don't have control over what I am trying to do but rather need to wait for the game to let me do it. More than once I've grappled onto a moving platform and got stuck on it as well. Frustratingly having to repeat a long section because the last segment of the area isn't even on screen until you make a flying leap and hoping your grappling hook connects else having to repeat it over and over isn't very fun, couple that with an annoying event which without spoiling it is VERY HARD ON THE EYES. Anyways, interesting story, great pixel art and animations, mediocre to meh gameplay.

A great platformer with one of my favorite final gauntlets, genuinely touching writing, and some of the most expressive pixel art I've ever seen.

This is such a good game. It has great visuals, intriguing story and really really fun gameplay. A playthrough on normal took me around 9h so it's length is perfect for what it is. I strongly reccomend playing Sanabi!!!

Fantastic story with amazing direction. Better then most "AAA" games today. Gameplay is simple and fun. Swing around and move fast. Uhhhh...Maplestory

One of the best games I've ever played. At the beginning of the game, the only issue I had was getting used to the gameplay mechanics, which were quite fast (skill issue). The graphics are beautiful, the story is cool, and the gameplay mechanics are unique. I just wish there was a final boss at the end, hehe.

Please just let me play the game instead of stopping me every 5 minutes for 5 minutes of dialogue.

Gameplay: 11/10. Pure platforming goodness. Some of the best movement mechanics I've ever seen in a game. Story: 10/10. The ending is especially fantastic. My only nitpick is that the game relies on very long cutscenes, and it really tanks the pacing. Everything else is perfect.

got blinded, cutscenes too long, good game

Hands down one of the best stories I've experienced in a platformer. Fluid movement and grappling make the platforming good fun but the game really shines in its gorgeous presentation and story. Highly recommended! Check out https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41559946 for more recommendations!

I can't believe I'm so emotionally attached to this game after finishing it. This is absolutely a 10/10 masterpiece. The plot itself is literally a "Ghost in the Shell" level story. PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT ANY SPOILER!
