I love this game. It’s a cell shaded coming of age adventure where you ride your scooter around the desert and explore ruins or meet unique characters. It’s easily worth full price imo so this is definitely a steal.

    This is the second really positive review of the game I’ve read the past few days. I might actually slot it into my backlog now.

      This is the second really positive review of the game I’ve read the past few days.

      I’d like to imagine I’m responsible for the first! Do try it, it’s really good. It doesn’t feel like other games, there’s no frenzied movement, nothing really skill-based, or reaction-based, you can just explore a beautifully designed world (the art style is so unique), with a perfect soundtrack (Japanese Breakfast!)…tackle things your own way!

      Its a beautiful game, not something I’d typically enjoy but slowing down to enjoy a slower game made me happy.

        You were indeed! You’re convincing me, I’ll pencil this in as a palate cleanser at some point this year!

      It’s my wife’s favorite game. If you do play it, after leaving the starting area, enjoy the song. Don’t beeline to the oak tree camp thing, it’ll cut the music off unceremoniously.

          I’m just over 10 hours on my desktop PC right now, playing Epic’s version through Heroic (enabling EOC overlay so that achievements are shown!)

          And I’m nowhere near completing, but only because I love gliding and exploring and collecting. Its the perfect stress-free game to play :)

          About 20 but I haven’t even finished it 100%. It emphasizes exploration so I mostly just traveled and went with whatever I stumbled upon. I don’t usually like to explore video game worlds as they often just feel empty but Sable has a particular atmosphere to it that I enjoyed. If you just want to see the story you can probably do even less than 7 hours.
