I am very torn on sable. It's on the one hand a very pretty game with a fun, meditative quality to its low stakes gameplay but on the other hand it has an inexcusable amount of technical issues. My first playthrough I had to find a way to "cheat" past all the physics puzzles which refused to work. It also doesn't really pay off much of your final choice but it's kind of intentional, "the journey not the destination" etc. The game can also straddle the line between tranquil and boring at times, depending on music and landmark frequency.
The observant among you might have caught however, that I said "first" playthrough i.e I have played it more than once. This is exactly what I mean, clearly I enjoy this game on some level but its flaws keep me from recommending to any but the patient among you
