    DON'T BUY THIS. This game shouldn't have been allowed on the PS Store - it should be removed like Cyberpunk 2077 was until the worst issues are fixed.

    What I played seemed like it could be a good game (I enjoy the art style and the approach to exploration) but the performance is painfully bad, and I mean that literally. The game stutters constantly (it's headache-inducing). The    DON'T BUY THIS.

    What I played seemed like it could be a good game (I enjoy the art style and the approach to exploration) but the performance is painfully bad, and I mean that literally. The game stutters constantly (it's headache-inducing). The framerate plummets from 60 to 20fps ... just as you're turning the camera sometimes. A lower resolution mode needs to be added to get a more decent framerate. There's also graphical bugs like flickering textures.

    The developers seem to have no intention of fixing this game. Very depressing. Please remove this from the PS Store, Sony. Have some standards.    … Expand

    Sable is a great attempt at making an open-world game without combat, but both on a technical level and in scope it comes up against its indie limitations. [Issue#23, p.76]

    Fairytale adventure game in a beguiling open game world between Studio Ghibli, Star Wars and Zelda - despite technical stuttering a real action-adventure insider tip.

    Sable is a game that settles on a relaxing tone with an interesting aesthetic. Unfortunately, it's inhibited by some technical issues and some plain quest design. Traversing the barren world can still be enjoyed. Despite its emptiness, there's a decent sense of discovery that's accompanied by a very mellow soundtrack. As it is, there's a good game here stifled by unpredictable performance and a lack of variety.
