    História muito boa, com boas missões secundárias. Universo do jogo é rico e imersivo.
    Gameplay é boa mas nada fantástico.
    Gráficos, não mudam muito do original, mas não são ruins.

    Just put this on, on Series X. Absolutely unplayable for me. Bad frame rates don't bother me but when they're so bad it gives you motion sickness it's an instant uninstall, which is exactly what this was.

    Surely they could have done something to fix the frame rate on a current gen console.    … Expand

    Game may feel a bit dated with the original coming out in 2005, but the main story and combat still hold up extremely well today. No sure if there was a patch, but I got through a whole playthrough and don't recall any bugs mentioned in the other reviews

    ma è proprio l'opera di ammodernamento che fallisce in tutto, con dei comandi non sempre immediati, dei menù che dire confusionari è dir poco, e anche qualche bug nella selezione del inventario che molto spesso non ci verrà mostrato.
    dal punto di vista ludico ancora oggi si notano quelle cure che sono state riposte nel gioco permettendoci di plasmare la nostra avventura con scelte morali, e interagire con i vari personaggi che avranno una loro vita e che quindi si spostano in base all'ora della giornata.
    peccato per la struttura della mappa a corridoi che alla lunga risulterà ripetitiva da percorrere.
    difetti a pare dovuti al età del prodotto e della rimasterizzazione, fable resta un gioco da provare assolutamente, un gioco che racconta la storia di un bambine che negli anni crescerà e in base alle sue buone o cattive azioni molte cosse cambieranno, fino ad arrivare a vedere un cambiamento di come ci vedono le altre persone, davvero tante piccoli particolari nelle varie interazioni che ancora ad oggi difficilmente si vedono così ben implementate.

    While most of its mechanics are dated by today's standards, Fable Anniversary is a solid update to what felt like a genre-defining video game.

Doing the arena quest, fighting 8 rounds for an hour and then you want to leave the arena and the game crashes. One hour lost. 2 hard crashes in 8 hours is something even Cyberpunk 2077 never achieved on my One X, but this graphically inferior and CPU lighter game gets it done. So if you don't mind the screen tearing, texture pop-in, frame drops to a crawl, freezes and hard crashes, you can try it out on game pass. If you do mind them, i'd suggest starting with fable 2.… Expand

    Fable TLC was one of the greatest games that the OG Xbox had, this remaster lacks of technical elements to be considered an improvement. But still os extremely enjoyable.

    Fable is another one of those old games that I never played. Why? Well I never had the chance to play them while I was younger and growing up I used to think that it looked old, outdated and didn't have the slight interest in it.

    However, everything changed the day I got an Xbox Serie S and the Xbox Game Pass. While looking for new RPGS to play, I saw the whole Trilogy available. I had nothing better to play so I thought, ''eh why not?''. The results were... I WISHED I HAD PLAY THIS GAME EARLIER!! It was so good. The story was totally cliché, but it was well done that's what matters!

    What impressed me was the gameplay! For a game that came out in 2004, with some re-releases, the game was really fluid, class customization was awesome, I coud literally be anything I want from the 3 branches. The Good an Evil alignment were awesome, and the way the townies reacted to me being scary or attractive added to the immersion! The fact that there was no crafting was a bit disappointing, but I think that's just because I played a bit too much modern RPG'S. Can't wait to jump into Fable 2.    … Expand

Other flaws of this version of the game is that there are not any fixed bugs, it is poorly optimized even for the Xbox One standards. Navigating in the menu may be painful at first, but you are accoustumed. Even though the lighting and shadows were improved from the original version, for today standards is kinda odd. Looking at it may be hard because of the weird shadows. To wrap up, this game is still playable but this is more recommended to the long time fans that got used to the older controls. It is a really good RPG but with weird and wacky combat controls.… Expand

    Infelizmente a Microsoft não sabe tratar suas IPS com carinho e atenção, jogou o trabalho da Lionhead no lixo e não deu o apoio necessário a mesma. Fable é um dos melhores jogos da gen passada, amo de paixão, é obrigatório para donos de Xbox 360/One, pena que a esperança para uma sequência de Fable é zero. Um estúdio bom mas que não foi valorizado.
