The Saboteur is certainly a unique take on a story based shooter game. Playing as a demolition expert of sorts instead of a traditional soldier type character in fictionalized depiction of Nazi occupied France, Saboteur is a flawed but interesting game from the late 2000s.
As such the game shows its age throughout its playthrough. The story is meh and quite predictable, the graphicals GTA-like (San Andreas specifically in my opinion) in many ways and the music is adequate but bland.
Nevertheless the unique skillset and premise along with a very artsy choice of colors help the saboteur shine through as a unique game from its era.
Playing on Steam, I encountered a total of 2 clipping/stuck in geometry kinda crashes which is a shame but par for the course for titles from this time period. The autosave system is also quite trash and I would suggest a certain degree of manual save discipline here.
There really is nothing more to say here. Beyond a few shining unique lights, it is a run of the mill open world game in the GTA vein. But from an era where open world fatigue had not set in, it is servicable, and the short length of the story as well as a very very low pricepoint ( 3 euros regularly on steam sales) mean The Saboteur is definitely worth looking at !
