Sable Reviews

Early review at only 5 hours in the game. I was hesitant to buy Sable but now I regret not getting that game earlier. It is a masterpiece reminding some of the 90s european scifi comic books. It's more than a game, it's a whole experience.

A great chill game with a beautiful world. Holds deep meaning too, though you can engage as much or as little with the meta parts of the story as you want. If you just want to chill and ride your bike around, this game has plenty for you too

I really loved this game. A beautiful open world with so much to do, and dozens of missions you can do, but no traditional "main quest" at all. Entirely unique, and well worth spending a lot of time in!

I've beaten this game twice on PC and absolutely love it. The Moebius inspired visuals, the vast open world and the nonviolent gameplay. The music by Japanese Breakfast is atmospheric and perfectly complements the visuals. I really felt like Sable going on my own ritual journey. I do wish the game was less buggy and glitchy. Even having beaten the game twice, I would double dip and buy it again if it was ported to the Switch 2 and performed well. I bet a lot of people would love it on Switch 2.

Although it's a BOTW clone in terms of gameplay, the vibes are unique and very enjoyable.

This is a wonderful game! The art is simple and great at the same time. So fun to explore the world and interact with the characters on different quests, with lots of things to discover and fun challenges, both with timing and mental challenges.

A gorgeous game with a heartwarming and relatable coming of age story. Also, VERY buggy, but enjoyable despite that fact.

I experienced severe motion sickness from the animations and art style after playing for an hour.

Chill vibes. Interesting art style. The puzzles and exploration are engaging and I had fun running around unlocking new skins for my bike and character. I don't complete all the achievements in every game but I did in this one. Kept me entertained and I was sort of hooked on the exploration of the world a bit more than the lore. I found that sort of flat. I will say that the animations, music, and sound effects were decent. Overall, enjoyable experience. I had some optimization issues with Vsync, lots of screen tearing but that could just be my setup. Otherwise, the game performed well. I 100% completed the achievements in the game but did not 100% unlock everything. There were still some bike parts and costumes I could have foraged up enough money to purchase. However, I chose not to. There were some odd things about the climbing mechanics at times and the camera could be a pain but they were manageable enough to get around. Sometimes the color / shader engine would put me in monochrome render and I couldn't see certain elements. Saving, Exiting, and reloading fixed that every time and didn't really disrupt my gameplay. Cool game, I could see some areas where it could be more engaging. Masks, Clothes, and Bike Parts could use a lift so that they are more effective and do something for you. I unlocked a set of bike parts that outperformed every other bike part which made me not interested in changing it up. THOUGH, some of the costume and bike part designs were REALLY cool they just didn't do anything special for gameplay. I don't think any costume or mask actually gave you a bonus to hovering, climbing, fishing, or looting which were all things you did repeatedly. Merchant mask didn't change prices, Scrapper mask didn't give you more pieces of scrap from pickups, etc. I could see a cool synergy for a second title in the game where you load your game save from this one and start off with the decision you make at the end. It could be cool to carry over certain unlocks into that game as well. Like things you did for characters and masks you earned.

Wonderful experience that reminded me of my first time playing Death Stranding, Shadow of the Colossus, and Breath of the Wild. I had a blast exploring the world! I hope the devs get all of the funding they would ever need to make a follow up, or another IP. Happy Gliding to all those who try this masterpiece!
