Sable for PC, PS4 and XONE is an exploration adventure game set on a foreign planet. We play as a young girl who travels the vast desert. The originators of the production are two debuting developers from London's independent studio Shedworks. Sable was presented for the first time during E3 2018. The authors drew inspiration from various sources. The most important of these were games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Shadow of the Colossus, animated films by Ghibli studio, as well as French science fiction and fantasy comic books, especially the titles created by Moebius.

Plot

The action takes place on a distant planet. The main character of the game, Sable, is a young girl who belongs to one of the nomadic tribes that constantly travels the wilderness. The protagonist leaves her family behind and goes on a lonely journey, which for her is a ritual of transition into adulthood. She takes a levitating scooter with her to explore the desert on her own - this place hides various ruins of long-forgotten civilizations and the mysterious wrecks of spacecraft. On the way, she meets many strangers who deliberately or by chance give her lessons on history, the nature of family, love, and friendship, as well as the place of people in the world.

Obscure Sci-Fi Games You May Not Have Heard Of (And That's a Shame)

Cyberpunk 2077, Mass Effect, Fallen Order – these are games that almost anyone knows at least by reputation. But even if you're not a fan of the genre, some of the more obscure SF productions may steal your heart (and a few evenings).

Beautiful, Unusual Games with Unique Graphics

"Playability matters, not graphics" is often the justification for poor visuals. Graphics, however, can be much more than beautiful or ugly. It can also be ingenious, intriguing, and unusual, and these are the examples of the most unique games.

DualShockers: 9 / 10 by Dom Bancey

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Sable and will definitely continue to play as well as recommend it to others. For me, there is definitely room for it to be replayed as the choices you make and missions you choose to embark on can reveal a different story each time. Also, the more (or less) that is explored will determine the mask at the end. It is the perfect indie game to relax, take a break, and simply get lost in an open world.

Game Rant: 4 / 5 by Pam K. Ferdinand

These issues are unfortunate because Sable is a remarkable game that would normally warrant a higher rating. But the problems, although minor for the most part, were encountered with such regularity that they can’t be overlooked. Hopefully, Raw Fury will fix these hiccups quickly because, without those flaws, Sable truly is a beautiful and minimalist journey through an open world that is a joy to explore.

TheGamer: 3 / 5 by Stacey Henley

When everything clicks, Sable is a great game. Once you've got your head around a quest, especially a longer one with a few moving parts, you can get lost in the world climbing buildings, finding secrets, unlocking puzzles, and gathering knick-knacks. Unfortunately, the game leaves you to your own devices far too often, and doesn't present an interesting enough world for you to want to get lost in it. I'd say at least I could enjoy flying around in it, but after my hovercraft conked out, I didn't even have that. It cares too much about how it wants to make you feel and not enough about how it's going to get you there.
