Sable is my Breath of the Wild. An open world design staple that is second only to the super condensed A Short Hike.

Stellar art and music. Lovely map design that invites you to sit down and take the world in.
Writing, both dialogue and world building, is very good and often can get emotional. Sable's world is intriguing from the get go and unravelling its history was very fun.

It's a tragedy that a game this pretty and clever runs so very poorly.

I took my time with Sable's Gliding and did nearly everything the game has to offer, part of me didn't want to let go of the beautiful desert scenery and serene music. Part of me didn't want to let go but as the game keeps telling you - Journeys must end and that's part of what makes them special.

A never ending barrage of pop ups and mechanics plus horrendous UI.

I just want Game Dev Story with a different skin. It was a nice simple abstraction with little complexity . Easy to pick, easy to drop.

Less is more.
