This is another post in my series about the odd games that I have decided not to complete, although I will at least try them out for up to an hour or two.
Month: January 2024
Sable
Developer: Shedworks | Released: 2021 | Genre: 3PS, Adventure
This relatively fresh third person adventure game had a really stylish drawn style that reminded me a lot of European graphic novels, particularly those by Moebius.
In fact, that was the reason I got interested in it.
I controlled a teenager coming of age as she achieved the ability the float slowly downwards, which came in handy when climbing things and jumping across long distances. I was given a hover bike to navigate the big desert, looking for points of interest to explore. There was no combat of any kind, but RPG-style quests.
And it wasn’t just quests about obtaining a specific object or finishing some kind of collection quest. Some of the later quests involved the trope investigation chain and even breaking someone out of jail.
