The Jean "Moebius" Giraud inspired art direction got me interested way back when it was first teased, but that demo from last year turned me off a bit but I'll still pick it up just to see how it landed on the finished product. It's a cool concept and beautifully executed.

Thriving, but uncontrollable, and inevitably filled with edgelords desperately trying to stand out from the huge crowd by being as venomous and contrarian as possible. You have no limits, but there's a less than 1% chance that anything you post will ever be read by anyone. 2. The "possibly-ok police state" - Reasonably sized group where productive discussion and interaction can happen. Only made possible by extremely trigger happy moderators who are prone to power-trip from time-to-time. Workable, but you'd better learn the social hierarchy before you post. 3. "Dead" - Can't have people problems in the chat if there are no people in the chat.

Warning: Severe technical issues Thankfully it was free on GamePass. Concept and art direction are nice but there are gameplay issues. 1. Many times the bike will not recall to your location. I had to stop playing entirely because not only would it not return but it could not be located using compass and map. It constantly moved and flipped sides on the compass but it was not there. Exiting and re-entering the game didn’t resolve it. Basically left me stranded in the desert with no ride. Unable to play further. 2. For a low res game it has a very jerky jerky animation. It’s livable but unexplainable. 3. The camera is atrocious. This game is up my alley and I was enjoying it in spite of the issues until it stranded me without a bike and no recourse. It’s unfinished or poorly tested.

Just finished the game. I originally only got it to get a quick achievement for microsoft reward points. I rarely ever play indie games, much less finish them. But, by God, did this game grab me in a way I did not expect. I ended up playing it for days, enjoying every quest, every encounter and exploring the beautiful world. I think the moment that hooked me was when I first left Ewer and the music started playing was Sable's journey began. It just struck a chord with me. I loved how rewarding the exploration was, the secrets and mysteries I uncovered. I got so attached to my bike, Simoon, and the ending felt really emotional as it all came to an end.

Now that you made this video, you should try actually playing the damn game next. It was gorgeous and the music was great.... in the few moments everything wasn't bugging out of control. Towards the end of the game, I would often hear the various instruments in the soundtrack go out of sync with each other. One NPC I needed to complete a quest just turned invisible for a few days; my compass led me to his usual location but he wasn't visible and could not be interacted with. My character fully locked up about ten times in my playthrough, requiring a restart each time, but that's nothing compared to the infinite number of tiny cumulative glitches that often turned the simplest movement task into a Sisyphean nightmare of failed attempts. If I hadn't spent years of my life meditating I probably would have destroyed my computer in frustration. I'm not sure why I finished the game, tbh; masochism is the most likely answer. Well, that and videos like this that pretend the game isn't an absolute trainwreck of unrealized potential.

I’m curious about this as well. It’s a deal breaker for me if this is how the game runs the entire way through. I’m sure they’ll patch it though if it is indeed an issue in the game.

@seanw1783 2 года назад

@sethhowerton1489 2 года назад

It's actually the player character that stuttering not the whole game, just seems that way because the player is the center of attention. Also yes that is intentional.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun just did a comprehensive review of this game. They mention a lot of issues too: "None of the irritating things are huge, and in a few patches time Sable will probably be in much better shape. But right now, there are a lot of small irritants to get under your skin all at once. I simultaneously loved the beauty and strangeness of Sable's world, but was tormented by having to exist in it." -Alice Bell What I find peculiar is that Ralph is usually really thorough on his reviews, yet didn't mention any issues at all. Even on games he recommends, he'll mention issues with the game. I've looked at some other reviews, and they mention similar issues too. Did Ralph get lucky? It's possible, but I doubt it. I honestly wonder is Ralph didn't get a little bias in this review, rose tinted glasses maybe. It's an issue with most reviewers, staying objective can be difficult. Especially when reviewing media that can leave a strong personal, and subjective impression on you. Ralph is one of the few game reviewers I actually trust to give his honest, objective impressions of games, but no ones perfect. This may be one of those times where he experienced issues, but didn't notice these issues because he was so enamoured with the game. Just speculation, of course.

@@TheHeadincharge So a game doesn't load, is that subjective? Being soft or hard locked by no fault of your own, is that subjective? Frame or audio drops, is that subjective? Accurate or inaccurate hit boxes, is that subjective? A weapon being hit scan or projectile, is that subjective? Every form of media can be assessed objectively. Good and bad, and liked and disliked are mutually exclusive. You can like something that's objectively bad, and hate something that's objectively good.

@@ReaLMoisan it’s possible that Skillup was trying to make a point here with a bit of a ‘less is more’ approach. Paying respect to what he perceives as an amazing game built on a simple premise and constructing his review in the same way as a kind of homage. Just my take on it. I think we’ve all seen enough of his work to know he doesn’t just commentate about things without thought or reason.

Is that stuttering on the games side or the capture card/RU-vid? I know the character is animated on what looks like 2s or 4s but when in the open world it looks like it’s stuttering every so often consistently?

@fishandham1 2 года назад

performance is a mess. Ryzen 5 3600,16gb ddr4, 2080super, and I'm playing on low and I get 25 fps in the "complex" parts of the map, maybe 45 in the regular desert. on top of that is constant hitching and stuttering. also don't use a keyboard and mouse because it is borderline unusable. also this game is 90% just walking or riding your bike and then reading so much boring text you actually fall asleep. this game is imo a full year of just performance and bug fixing to be playable. this game is not ready and I don't think this review is genuine at all. I have played like 5 hours so far I think and I don't know if I can keep playing.

Finally got a chance to play this. This plays REALLY well.. some really really well done open world design ideas. Also love how much the game trusts the player but man, the game looks like ass. Fully disagree with the review here. When visuals are bad, it is bad. Also people who rave about the music, don't bother to mention how bad the sound FX is. Overall inconsistent package that would have been an instant classic if it had a larger team working on it. At this stage, it is very hard to recommend this to "average" game player

when I tried the demo during the Steam game fest some time back, stuff like that did kinda bother me, as well as the frame rate. Stuff felt 'choppy'. Seems that's still the case as shown in the review. Dunno if its part of some artistic choice or limitations on the side of the devs. Also noted pop-in of detail in the review, which I think I also encountered in the demo. Not big issues, but noticeable. I'll still be getting it, eventually.

@nevinmyers1245 2 года назад

For anyone watching this review right now: the bugs are still prevalent(I played on xbox) and the framerate slows extremely sometimes, but I hear it got patched at some point. My experience certainly wasn't as bad as what people are describing and it was by no means unplayable. If you have a high jank tolerance, I think you'll be fine.

@ObiGynKenobi Год назад

This. Ralph is my go-to source for reviews and I'm astounded he didn't touch on the technical state of this game. Even today, the stuttering and poor frame rate in locations like Eccria, the Whale, the petrified forest or any of the stations are immersion-shatteringly bad. And that doesn't even mention the audio or lighting glitches or jarring pop-in. Seems like they've abandoned the game and have no intention of addressing any of these things. It's a shame, because beneath all of those technical issues is the remarkable experience that Ralph described. But my opinion of this game will definitely come with an asterisk and I have a hard time recommending anyone spend money on it. If you got it for free through epic, or through humble recently, by all means check it out. But at $25? No way.

This is the only time I’ve been massively disappointed with a Skill Up review. He made it sound amazing but I held off at launch due to people mentioning poor optimisation and bugs. It just came out on PS5 so I thought they would finally be fixed, and the game runs atrociously, which is a shame because it seems like a fantastic relaxing game but bad performance really takes you out of the relaxing immersive feel. Ralph didn’t seem to touch on just how badly the game runs in most areas.. (I’m talking 15-20fps on PS5)
