Sable

Quite a pleasure to play this game, but for a thing focused on exploration, its driving and climbing mechanics are too janky and lacking necessary polish. The worldbuilding is fantastic, and I'll stick to it for the time being.

Absolutely beautiful game and world building

"Heartbreak in the City" was the most exciting quest in the game when we discovered it, my wife and I went from bored on the couch to sitting straight up & debating the evidence, we scoured the city to look for the pieces that were missing, we just KNEW this game had an answer that tied it all together. No, no it does not. Not only is it completely open ended, but the guard doesn't arrest anyone, he berates you for trying to extrapolate on the crumbs it gives you, and thats it. Heartbreak in the City is a microcosm of Sable as a whole, a game designed for aimless wandering with no point, that parrots Breath of the Wild while berating you for expecting it to expand on that inspiration in any way. I'd call it style over substance, though frankly the style is often so illegible and bland in places that saying its style is over anything is deeply misleading. This game doesnt just suck, it sucks in such a way that it genuinely offends me. It's beyond bland, its insulting. Hugely disappointing.

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!

I vibe with authors' vision. Worlbuilding of deserts, loneliness, exploration of the world and the self, many good ideas were put here. Sable is a bad, bad, crappy game tho. On a technical level, Sable sucks, heating my laptop, lagging. On a technical-cinematographical level, there are many absurd cuts, and glitched animations during story moments. On a storytelling level, Nothing happens. I don't feel like Sable is learning anything. On a gameplay level, everything this game is is boring exploring of empty desert, and stupid fetch quests. On a graphical level, though I like the art style and playing with colour palettes, world is empty and without any detail. Sable is one of these games that should've been released a couple of years later, sadly.

好玩，好看，出了新手村全世界都是你的

While the game had nice moments, overall, I wouldn't recommend it. There were simply too many issues and bugs that broke my immersion, which is baffling for a game that was released years ago. It felt unpolished. The framerate drops make the game unplayable at times. Hitboxes are unpredictable, and combined with lack of depth perception due to the cell shading this leads to frustrating moments when jumping and climbing. Mini cutscenes are unskippable (especially looking at you, chum eggs), no options to wait/progress time in-game. That's just a few things that kept me from really enjoying the game. I did enjoy the sense of exploration and most quests, though.
