I will not finish in time.
So building a hoverbike, she sets out to explore the world and herself.
It’s a striking world, with a look inspired by French artist Mbius.
The place has a weight of history.
Whatever it once was, it’s this now.
Honestly, if you have Game Pass, I’d download Sable just to look at things.
Oh, the climbing!
Like in Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, you could climb just about any surface.
This still feels slightly magical to me.
Though I do wish she had a little more stamina to start with (you could upgrade it).
It’s flat and often finnicky.
It can be upgraded but ugh.
Reading Alice Bee’sSable reviewfrom a year ago, I can feel the root of her gripes.
I suspect this discontent will only grow as I progress.
But hey, I’m only playing it until Sunday, so that’s fine.
I find this hard end date liberating.
I would be searching for collectible doodads to gain small advantages I might need later.
I would be checking out every location and quest in case I missed a good one.
It is a pleasant place to exist in, a good mood to slip into.
I look forward to spending another few hours in Sable before it vanishes from Game Pass.
Maybe I’ll progress the story, maybe I won’t.
Maybe I’ll one day buy it and return, maybe I won’t.
All software is licenses and all flesh is grass.
