Interesting that Sable is leaving Game Pass before the new content update drops. I'm hoping that now that it's coming to PS5 with new content someone like iam8bit or Limited Run will put out a disc version. Given it's leaving Game Pass I need to buy it, but I'd much rather own a disc copy than buy a digital one. …

Interesting that Sable is leaving Game Pass before the new content update drops. I'm hoping that now that it's coming to PS5 with new content someone like iam8bit or Limited Run will put out a disc version. Given it's leaving Game Pass I need to buy it, but I'd much rather own a disc copy than buy a digital one. I suppose Limited Run is the most likely candidate for putting one out since they have pressed at lease one other Raw Fury published title (Bad North if I recall correctly).

I starting loving Sable, the world, the art, the music, the chill out style gameplay and then very quickly started not loving it, followed by just wanting it to be over. Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind, but the open world aspect together with a multitude of fetch quests brought back memories hours doing similar basic gameplay for hours on end in World of Warcraft many years back.

I appreciate i'm in the minority here!

Lol! This reminded me what I didn't like about Sable and much prefer other journey (self-discovery) games like Death Stranding or of course, Journey.

My girlfriend bought a controller that had two remapppable buttons at the back. This would've helped me a lot with Sable to change the camera while sprinting with the B button.

On a related note: developers, please stop using face buttons for sprinting or any other movement-based action. Even jumping with A is kind of annoying because, again, it's hard …

Mesmerising. For some inexplicable reason I find myself playing this slowly, just taking in the sights and sounds and languishing in each tiny moment.

It's the closest game to Breath of the Wild I played. It's captured something that other games just haven't yet when they've attempted the same formula.

So you play as a young woman leaving her home to do quests for differnet guilds (merchan, machinist, usw...) in exchange for guild points. Gather enough points to gain the option to become a full-time member of the guild. All this with a desolate post-apocalyptic desert as the backdrop.

Is this a Mad Max unpaid intership simulator?

Funnily enough, the game that Sable most reminds me of is Mad Max. An open desert that once was the bottom of the sea (or some other body of water), driving as the main mechanic, lots of broken ships. Fewer maimed people with mental issues, though.

Overall a gorgeous game that drew me in with its visuals but bucked me off with its pace and lack of any force compelling me to reopen the game. I got through about 2/3rds maybe more and I can't even force myself to open the application again, after having seen a majority of the locations in the game (its BEST aspect by far) there is simply nothing that makes me want to see the journey to its end. None of the mask-careers are interesting enough that I want to end my gliding and settle down into banality. And other than visiting some locations during the daytime, that pretty much sums up the entire game, banal.

This game looks really neat but it has some issues on XBox One. Could be that I'm still rocking my OG fat XBone or whatever but I kept running into pretty rough frame stuttering and audio issues. Unfortunate 'cause I want to check this out more.

I'll give it another shot if I can ever get my hands on a Series X... Assuming it's still on Gamepass in a year or two when those things aren't a nightmare to find lol

Bought it... and not feeling it to be honest. Why have they done such horrible animations. It seems they have tried to do a Spider-Verse by capping its frame-rates, it is pretty jarring.

Bought it... and not feeling it to be honest. Why have they done such horrible animations. It seems they have tried to do a Spider-Verse by capping its frame-rates, it is pretty jarring. I think one would be better off buying The Incal or The World of Edena; Moebius is one of my favorite artists, but while I appreciate the nod which will bring more attention to his work, not particularly fond of it here either... It does scream out indie, that's for sure, specially with that Japanese Breakfast soundtrack over it. Will see if I go on with it.
